As many of us are still adjusting to working from home, we are coming to realize that the accoutrements of our offices are not readily available to us at home. Many of us have been working from home for some weeks now. It is convenient in many ways; no time lost in commuting, less formal dress code, closeness to our loved ones and a more relaxed atmosphere. But with this shift also comes a loss of many of the tools and comforts afforded by the office. I, for one, miss my Herman Miller desk chair that I tweaked to the perfect adjustment over the past decade. And, of course, I miss my colleagues, whom I have only seen on Zoom in the past weeks. There is precious little friendship talk in those meetings -- it's just down to business and, we hope, we can accomplish what needs to be done. The personalized support and care is not fully there as it is in moments here and there in the workday.
