I mean, it's a little too soon to tell if it is permanent. And we are a small firm, so we have a lot more flexibility. But our policy right now is that you are expected in the office 3 days per week - we choose which days. But some people, for example, work from home in the AM and then come in for the afternoon. I have chosen to WFH on Wednesdays and Fridays, but so far, I have been in most Fridays.

I am one of those few people who actually very much enjoys being in the office. I took lockdown very seriously over the past year because my husband is high risk and my toddler cannot be vaccinated. The dynamic in my household changed so that I was shouldering a bit more and more of the home/childcare responsibilities than I had pre-COVID. I felt like it was putting a strain on my marriage and that I was burning out.

I was worried about going back to the office, as my husband had come to expect a certain level of cleanliness in the house with me being home. But it has actually been great. I can tell that he enjoys having the house to himself again. And I just try to get as much cleaning done as possible on my days home. I'd hire a cleaning service, but my dog is a very good guard dog...

What do you recommend I do before shipping the PC back to my company. should I do a "Reset this PC and remove everything" that I'm able to access via the boot menu. Is there another option?
