For the first time in six years, I'm back in a cube! We are consolidating floors and had limited offices already, so they're now limited to VPs and Directors, of which I'm neither. But I have a pretty awesome view and as private as I can get while being in a cube. My building is the one behind the waterwall, 10 floors up.

You are permanently on my shit list you ask me to add the e-mail addresses of internal employees to a list you asked me to provide that didn't initially include the e-mail criteria. Look it up yourself you lazy POS.

We had a town hall and opinions ranged from "why does the company still have a double Vax mandate and masking?" to "when will the company require a booster shot?"

Kung Fu movies are like porn. There's 1 on 1, then 2 on 1, then a group scene..
i work for a branch of the fed and so because AMERKKKA HAS TO GET BACK TO WORK we are each required to go to the office 1 day / week (which will likely increase soon even though there are literally zero in-person meetings whatsoever. also we don't even have a sink/kitchen or water. i digress).
Anyways i'm home today but there's one guy in the downtown fed office today - literally he is the only one there (which again - zero logic to obviously) from our side of the floor (IRS i think is on the other side) and he just sent this on our internal chat, i quote verbatim:
"...just went to the piss room. dude in the far stall. watching porn on his phone...with the volume on. never breaks stride as i clearly piss and wash my hands. like...no attempt to turn it down."
I think one of the developers in my last meeting (a sprint retrospective/planning meeting over Zoom) was drunk/impaired. He was very giggly/laughing a lot, and repeated things a bunch.

Official first day back at the office. I haven't worn dress pants in two years. I was pleasantly surprised this morning that they still fit.
Pants still fit. Twins on the way. Flames in first place.

This is my big fear whenever I have to physically return to court. I don't even know where my suit pants are, since I've been wearing the coats with jeans this whole time.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

I keep saying I need to try on work clothes... I lost 40 pounds leading up to the pandemic and kept putting off having my suits brought in. Been putting weight back on since the pandemic hit, so I may not need any tailoring and old clothes might fit again. Sometimes it pays to procrastinate!

Welp. Just gave notice for the last 'job' I ever hope to have. (Staying on for 30 more days as a little more scratch and another month of having healthcare paid for will be nice.)

Good luck. Know this isn't what you want to hear but you'll always have the fallback of working for the man again if you have to so why not go for it?

I’m a “thanks” or “thank you” for the most part.
In my emails, it's always "thanks."
But in letters, it's Sincerely, while everyone else in my firm has always used Very Truly Yours. That last one has never set right with me. I can be sincere, but I am not "yours".

The only letters I send are closing letters to Complainants on workplace investigations. I use a template that includes the signature, so I had to check. Haven't actually typed out the signature in 8 years. Apparently I'm a "sincerely" guy. Not sure anymore if that was my choice or a Legal Department choice.

My going into the office had to do with a) actually enjoying seeing some of my co-workers, b) the great view from my new desk, c) a hot friend asking if I was in the office today and if so, would I want to grab lunch, or d) all of the above.

If a firm that is looking for someone to handle basic review matters, and hands you a conflicts form that asks for your client list from the last twenty years of practice, is "are you fucking seriously asking for literally everyone I've ever worked with?" an appropriate response?

Had a boss that always used "Yours Truly" which seemed to personal to me for business correspondence. We had many debates about it.
I can see someone just using that one and not thinking about it... But once it's pointed out... Yeah, it's fucking weird.
Depends for me. I'll go "Sincerely" if I'm annoyed with someone or it's super professional setting. Other than that, it's either "Thanks!" or "Cheers" but the latter only for professional friends or cordial colleagues type sitch.
Fuck. Swamp Bros... Sitch.
I am glad I'm going on vacation tomorrow.

I just use Thank you or Thanks or just my name.
I'm not white so none of these formalities are expected of me.
So here's a question for all you other folks who sign off emails with "Thanks."
A lot of the time, I am responding to an email giving me a document or some information or something. So I start the email with Thanks. Then I'm signing off with Thanks and feel stupid for doing that. Any thoughts?
