Writing this list I realise that virtual meetings might even be a lot more satisfying than the ones we hold in a conventional office environment. Who know, when we finally get back into our offices in 2021 we might bring our new skills back with us.

…. I feel as though I’m surfacing slowly from a deep sleep. I can hear Luisa talking about me in an urgent voice. I slowly open my eyes to find myself lying on the floor by the fire. Oh, and the zoom is still happening, but I seem to be the subject of the conversation. What the hell…?

For most of my career, the work arena was the office. Not any more – at least for now. What’s happened, what have we lost, and do we need to get the office back?

Zoom isn’t an ice lolly anymore, but an application allowing us all to fly out into cyberspace to meet up; fighting coronavirus and saving our social lives in lockdown.. And it doesn’t even cost six new pence -it’s free.
