Renovations are still expected to take another two or three months, and I can't keep telecommuting forever. I met with most of senior management a couple of days ago, but I haven’t seen most of my employees in over a month. Feeling particularly stir-crazy, I headed downtown and spent most of today standing outside the main office, touching base with as many people as I could. We had to improvise (I dropped a cell phone in my ear and called their desk phones) so I could hear anything they tried to

yell through the glass, which means I guess I was still telecommuting, but it was nice to actually see some familiar faces again. Got a lot of emails from people telling me how glad they were to see me again, too. Most of them asking me to come by more often.

I don’t think that the city is really going to let me pull this stunt many more times, though. Over the course of the afternoon, they started sending in traffic wardens, sneaking in tickets whenever they could. My right foot acquired six parking citations, and the tickling I felt around midday turned out to be someone figuring out how to attach a wheel clamp to my left dewclaw. I should have seen them coming, but let’s be honest, how often have I seen my feet this month?

It's hard to believe this has only been going on for four months. After spending the day staring into the third and fourth-story windows I have trouble remembering what it felt like to walk down those halls, wondering who decided a high-rise building needed such high ceilings. Going by the marks I left outside, my boobs could fill one of those floors up to the ceiling now, no problem.
