Day one

Old desk—check.

Old computer—check. Not touched since I left, so up and running again quickly. The mouse has scampered away though. I’m slumming it with a ball mouse temporarily (how on earth did we use these clunky mechanical beasts for so long?).

Old (20 in, best in the office) monitor—check. Reluctantly returned by Matt. Must nag the boss to buy more of these; can’t believe we’re still buying 17 in monitors for engineers.

Old chair—nope. I could tell it wasn’t mine as it sported a sticker with someone else’s name on it (left over from the office refit earlier in the year). I’ll make do.

Everyone seemed pleased to see me. In an “I’ve got a job for you” kind of a way.
