Was standing at my desk for most of the day (which means a lot of movement in my case; I use a stool to brace my feet, hips, and butt at various times throughout the day), from 9 to 5:30, with a couple breaks, but otherwise in solid meetings all day dealing with 47’s directives. Long ass day.
We got the return-to-office date of late February for those of us not in the union’s bargaining unit (which as an attorney at the small agency I am not). I’ll be in training that week and the next, so I’ll miss the initial excitement, but come March I’ll be back in the office full time, no telework (save, perhaps, some situational stuff, the boundaries of which remain to be seen). Barbaric. LOL I dread seeing what this is going to do to rush hours in and around DC, both in cars and on the Metro system. At my previous agency they have less than half the available desks for all of their attorneys if they were all to return tomorrow. We have 19 offices (and four cubicles) for 28 people. I’m glad I’m not on the space planning group for the agency.
