The pandemic brought changes to all of us - as we distanced ourselves from each other, at least inside buildings, wearing masks, working remotely via computer from home.
Our daughter was one of those office workers who stopped going into the office, doing the same job through the internet and her computer at home.
(And it worked!)
Eventually she decided to move back to Ottawa - to be closer to us. After all, her company didn't care where she lived, as long as she was sitting in front of her computer from 9 to 5 every day. We enjoyed having her nearby.
But now, two years later, life is shifting again. Some companies are again bringing employees back into the office. Are they trying to fill empty buildings? Or will productivity actually increase?
My guess is: time will tell.
So... our daughter will soon be returning to the office half time - two days one week, three days the next...
It's a big shift for us all - as she moves to an apartment closer to where she will work (which happens to be a five-hour drive away in Toronto!)
