And I'm one of 4 people on the floor.

Ironically, I was never in the office before March 2020, except for customer events, company-wide celebrations, or training. Now I've been in the nearly-empty office twice this week for executive summit events here. Could have been in yesterday, but I had customer calls to field, so I stayed home and participated remotely in the exec sessions.

How do you feel about going in?

Over 50% of Australia is in short-term lockdown as of this week. 3 or 4 days from Monday this week due to individuals having a new more contageous strain "Delta" or "Delta plus" - media talking about delta plus, first I seen today.

So we're working from home again due to the lock down. I prefer working from home because I seem to achieve more.

Having meetings was really nice.

But I like working from home much better. I see the possible return of WeWork to business for all those people and firms that only want temporary space.

In the office today myself. Found out that my entire drive in is now a construction zone. Pre-COVID my commute was 40 minutes. During COVID I could do it in 20 because nobody was on the road. Now with the construction it took over an hour. Already talked to my boss, and got a verbal agreement that working from home will stay available to our group even after everyone else comes back in. I can't do 2+ hours in traffic every day.

Your DoT must be on the same schedule as mine. The main freeway by my house is tore up in both directions, about 5 miles each way. Narrow lanes, no HOV, and the worst part are the dumptrucks coming out of nowhere onto the freeway or the access roads.

I think it is just normal government ineffeciency in action. During COVID they thought this is a great time to do road work. Nobody is on the roads. Then by the time they got the budget approved, plans approved, requests for quotes, selected a vendor, and set a start date we are all back on the roads.
