Two years after all staff were switched to homeworking thanks to covid, our building officially reopened this week, so I've been working on site every day as part of the building management team, being on hand to welcome everyone back, show them the new layout and re-arranged facilities and whatnot. Everything is different and yet everything is also exactly the same. Weird how that goes. We are going to be doing hybrid working from now on, a combination of working on site and at home, so everything is now designed to facilitate that.

This morning at 8.15am our data centre manager arrived declaring that we should all brace ourselves because he was feeling so peaceful and optimistic that something catastrophic was bound to happen

At 8.45am the fire alarm went off!

It was a false alarm, but I hold the DCM entirely responsible! He jinxed us!

Homeworking was so much more peaceful...

(Also, it turned out I am the only fire warden on site today, so that was fun)
