So, yesterday I went to the office to work after a very long, long time. The last time I had worked at the office was back in the end of September. After that mainly due to health reasons, I have stayed back at home and worked from here. I’m very comfortable here at home working and now it is a big pain to go to the office but I had to go as there needed to be atleast one of us at the office while two batches of new employees were getting trained.

So yesterday I got up by 9 am and got ready by 11:45 am and then booked an Uber to take me to the office. I reached there by 12:30 pm and then went to sign in at the security desk, as I am designated as a Work from home employee. I then went to our tech section to get one of the laptops that is assigned to us temporarily for work purposes while at the office (we have desktops at home given by the company) and went to the large floor where the new employees were sitting. They had just come in and were setting up their logins and online modules. I went to where my batch were sitting and plugged in my laptop and we started the day.

At 2pm I went for a quick lunch of an omelette, ketchup & mayo sandwich and a bottled grape juice. I then went back to continue the rest of the training. We broke for a coffee break – I had the same grape juice – and I joined a new team member who I had not met till now and also met some colleagues who I hadn’t seen in ages. By 9:30 pm I logged off and sent the batches home and then met two colleagues who were coming in the 9:30 pm to 6:30 am shift and then quickly booked a cab to come home and have my dinner before watching some tv.
