YOUR WFO SENSE CHECK
After five months of sometimes showering and living in last year’s T-shirts, it’s hard to remember the old-normal. So in case you’ve forgotten how to function when working from office (WFO), here’s some sensory reminders so you don’t get asked to WFH permanently.
SOUND
Those clicks, dings and toe taps. It’s a lot. We’re all pretty used to our own personal symphony, but it’s not polite to share. Hint: if everyone starts wearing headphones around you, it’s time to dial it back.
SIGHT
Sadly, the Winnie the Pooh dress code is off the cards and it’s back to dressing top and bottom. Ditch the slippers, dust off the iron and leave the stained trackies at home. Or don’t. But we’ll notice.
SMELL
It’s easy to go nose blind after months of sniff tests and quick washes. Now it’s time to get that three-day-old nacho out of your hair, hop into the shower and spray something on. Please.
TASTE
So you’ve packed your lunch. Great. Maybe let’s leave your sardines and experimental boiled egg recipe at home. Just because you love odd combinations doesn’t mean everyone will. Thanks.
TOUCH
Just don’t. Even more reasons now.
EASY AS
It’s great to get back to the office. But it’s useful to check yourself before you… become that person. No one will tell you, but they’ll notice. So flick through your senses to make your home to office transition a breeze. And if you feel a literal one, make sure you’ve remembered your pants.
