Good morning everyone. Today I am going to do exactly what I did yesterday.

@RaeYcrep *waves* Morning Rae. Pretty much same situation here to be honest. Back in the office tomorrow, though...

@UnixAnt Tell me you at least have your own desk in the office. I hotdesked in an open plan for years and I was set to kill people by the end.

@RaeYcrep I do! In fact, we all have sit/stand desks by default. They look after us at my current place, although I have worked in hotdesk hell previously. Didn't bother me too much, as my desk had nothing on it, but sitting with my team wasn't always a given and that got annoying...

@UnixAnt It was more about getting everything set up the way I liked it, only to find some clown sitting there the following day. And having to clean everything before using it.

And I was enevitably the person running around resolving log in issues because people had to use a computer they had never been on before (all chrome books, all server based with the client, not local to our company in any sense of the word).

@RaeYcrep Actually, yes - that would have annoyed me as well. Like returning to your desk and you just know that somebody has switched your chair with an inferior one. Happened a lot...

Interesting infrastructure choice that. I do like the thin client approach (if it works properly). Used Citrix, Secure Global Desktop and, obviously, Unix terminal going to mainframe. But Chromebooks...I can see how that would work.

(brb - meeting. Back at 12:00)
