I have been approved to request a desk the right height for me 🎉
For a minute there I thought I was going to need a doctor's note to get "prescription" ergo furniture. Probably would've needed a specialist to diagnose me as "short" 😅

People who use Teams in light mode: who hurt you?

Here's to hoping this dude takes my offer to continue checking in periodically as a threat. #CorpLife
It's hard for me to stealthily re-allocate resources into my team's workspace like this 😅

A surprising number of people get to the office as early as I do - I'm not used to seeing this many humans before 8am, let alone before 7am. ☕

Happy that I could clock an AI-generated person the very instant it opened its mouth in this training video. #AI #CorpLife
Day 2 of my captivi...err I mean Return To Offi...err I mean Flexible Work Launch (😆) and it is...just kidding, I love working from work. That's why it's called work! #RTO #CorpLife 💻
Tried to be helpful in a group chat by explaining how I fixed a common problem people were reporting. The person whose actual job it was to be helpful thought I was describing a problem, not a solution, and tried to help me. #TechSupport #CorpLife #RTO #ZabHasLeftTheChat
I have to take a 45min ergonomic assessment to prove I am short enough for a desk that lowers to 26.5 inches. The same kind of desk that was the default in the building I just moved from.
Sorry about my TPS Reports.

We have been gifted a mystery spray in a branded holster. It lists only ingredients, no purpose or instructions.
Is it sanitizer? Breath spray? Lens/screen cleaner? Whiteboard cleaner? Woe be to anyone who guesses wrong! #swag #RTO #CorpLife
('Bout to look up the ingredients for a clue lol)
Our new workspace is truly the armpit of this building - no exterior windows, just a glass wall that abuts the atrium (so we're in a giant greenhouse), and is right underneath the loudly-rumbling HVAC main which, for added ambience, occasionally also emits a high-pitched whooshing. #RTO #CorpLife
All (mostly) set up in my new assigned workspace on Day 1 of RTO. My poor laptop got connected to different peripherals and didn't know where it lived anymore - had to re-do all the settings 😅

Teams needs an "undo" so that I can retrieve whatever chat I just inadvertently dragged and dropped into oblivion. #Teams #CorpLife
I wanna rewrite my LinkedIn "about" since my connections are 100% people who know me and I am <1% likely to try to find a job there. Currently kicking around:
Solver of technical problems
Taker of random photos
Drawer of weird shit
Cracker of dumb jokes
#LinkedIn #CorpLife #CLM
LinkedIn is like 40% spam, 30% spam from/about my network, and 30% spam from/about my employer. So, that's ... 100% spam, for those keeping score.

Watching a presentation that went from how many people we hired this year (a lot) to how we are automating this job with AI. Just makes me wonder how many of those jobs will be kept. #AI #CorpLife
Day 2 of WFH week. I almost didn't change out of my PJs. I am, shall we say, generally under motivated.
#WFH #CorpLife
Working from home this week and the boys are already driving me insane. It's 35mins into Monday. #catsky #WFH #CorpLife
Saying goodbye to this desk I have claimed for the past few months. I will miss having a window, but I won't miss having to set up and strike "camp" every day. I had previously taken for granted being able to leave some stuff at a desk that's mine. #RTO #CorpLife
Today is the last day of optionally working at the office before the Mandatory Flexibility™ commences on the 20th. Next week we must all WFH while they ready the buildings.
#WFH #RTO #CorpLife
I am Friday-tired on a Thursday. These next two days are gonna be a looooong week. 🤖 #Friday #CorpLife
Looks like some team is getting a nice RTO present. Probably not mine though. There are only two of us here. 😭 #RTO #swag #CorpLife
My customer said he is ready any time and has now been "away" for the past hour. Awesome. #TechSupport #Teams #CorpLife
The theme of the week is "we fixed your issue but that's not good enough I guess" 🤖 #TechSupport #CorpLife
They're not calling our return to office thing (wherein we will be required to come to the office 3 days/wk) "RTO" - they're calling it "Flexible Work Launch" which is hilarious. A mandatory element makes it LESS flexible, not more. We are notoriously bad at naming things though. #RTO #CorpLife
Sometimes it sucks to be the most engaged person, because it means I regularly get pinged for status updates on things I no longer own and therefore have no easy way to check. #TechSupport #CorpLife
Remember when desks had drawers? Ah, man, that was great. Good times.
#CorpLife
Dude just told me that my status message in Teams - "Copilot is my copilot" - is the worst/best thing he's read all day. "You're welcome," I said 😅
#Teams #Copilot #CorpLife
Just overheard a person on the team that's always coughing and hacking all over the office mention that someone is out sick today.
Oh.
So.
You're aware that's an option. 🤨
