I don't want to increase my working week by two and a half days! ;-)

More seriously, I went into the office this week after keeping away 
during the mask wearing requirements in Canberra.

While I have excellent online communications with my colleagues, there 
were still things I learned from random meetings in the corridor and on 
the way to the cafe I would not have found out online.

Perhaps one or two visits to the office a week are sufficient to keep 
the informal flow of information up.

ps: This week I applied for a three month job at a government agency in 
Canberra. The job description noted that no office was provided.
