Hybrid Working

I was back to working at home. I don't know when I'll be back in the office next. They are trying "hybrid working" where we can work at home, or book a desk in the office for a day. It's something that they've been talking about for years, long before the pandemic.

I listened to The Retrospectors, Office Ladies, Like Minded Friends, Stuff You Should Know about a riot that erupted at baseball game in the 1970s due in part to beer being sold for 10 cents, Myths and Legends and British Scandal about the 2015 Hatton Garden Heist, where a gang of elderly crooks stole £14 million in gold and jewels.

I watched a couple of episodes of a 1983 TV adaptation of Jane Eyre, which starred Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Rochester. It's a very good adaptation and very faithful to the book.

I'm glad that your work is being sensible about the possibility of continuing to work from home or make a hybrid option for people who want that.

My Dean seems pretty supportive of people having those types of arrangements, but my department chair is less than favorable about staff having those options. This week, all of the faculty are out of town at conferences, and she's STILL making at least one person/day sit in the office. It's absurd. My boss marvels at her "dying on this hill" when our having to be there proves how unnecessary it is and only annoys us vs the good will the Chair could've garnered by just letting us WFH this week.
