I may be a bad person ... the rest of the office is coming back and one, a new staff person, arrived to find that the docking station for her computer isn't there. I have it.
Nah, bad would be what I would have done, which is swap them out and leave the broken docking station there (presuming that there are no identifying numbers/marks)

We are fully back in the office August 1. And apparently those of us who could (pre-Covid) work from home on occasion will now need to undergo an pre approval process, which is annoying. My boss is going to try to submit her plan for me as “can work from home as needed”. They just really want the secretaries back, and there is a revolt among the secretaries. So now it is being framed that staff cannot work from home, but faculty can. I mean, I get why they are revolting, but I am annoyed that it is effecting those of us who previously had flexibility.

Happy Day! Wishing Zenkitty a very happy birthday, and much love and joy in the year to come.
Today is also my MIL's birthday and my son and DIL's anniversary. I shall be in a celebratory mood all day.

I'm in my new-new office today, about half a block away from my old-new office (we moved last July while everyone was WFH), and it's a WeWork managed site, which means there is nitro cold brew coffee on tap. This has gone a VERY long way towards managing my annoyance at moving buildings twice in the last year.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
there is nitro cold brew coffee on tap
Okay, my kitchen is incredibly disappointing this morning in light of this news.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I bought some canned nitro coffee recently because my stomach can actually handle cold brew but not thinking that I would have the same problem with nitro coffee that I had with nitro ice cream, but my lungs were equally unhappy.

Happy birthday, Zenkitty!
There's a coffeehouse near me that has been advertising nitro coffee for about two years now. I've gone in about 5 times over those years, and it's never been available. Now I'm doubly disappointed in them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The nearest to me Starbucks usually doesn't have nitro but I guess they got the capability recently because last time I was ordering it was available and I got some but I was driving while drinking it so I don't really even know how it tastes.
Happy Zenkitty Day!!

I came very close to investing in a home nitro cold brew system and then realized I already have 10+ coffeemakers and should stop. But having it on tap at the office (and for free!) makes me feel much better about coming back to work.
