I’m finally back at work! All updates have been applied, emails read, cakes provided and I’m happily specifying washrooms, picking floor finishes and drawing reception desks again! When I walked out of the office to work from home on the 16th March 2020, I didn’t realise I wouldn’t be working in the office again for another 624 days…
I was waiting to hear if our IVF cycle had been successful and was being super-cautious, just in case (spoiler: it was). The rest of the office quickly joined in with WFH and we spent the summer keeping in touch by playing guess whose desk / lunch / door (and working, obviously). Then WFH Life was suddenly replaced with Hospital Life when I suffered complications and ended up hanging out at the RUH for 9.5 weeks. Much sponge pudding and custard later, I came home with a new member of the family.
Fast forward another year and it’s now time to learn how to merge Mum Life and Work Life. I’ve already roped the baby into picking samples. Wish me luck!
