Just over a year ago on 17th March 2020 my office announced that, in line with government guidelines, the premises were closing and we should all go home to work. Within a couple of hours I had packed and left the building. Change was, to all intents and purposes, instantaneous: like breaking a leg.
When leaving the building that day I had no idea that over a year later I would still be working at home with no immediate prospect of returning to the office. There have been some conversations about the prospect and we did even develop a plan which never got implemented as further restrictions came into place.
Now, with the vaccine rollout in progress we have started thinking again about planning a return to the office ... but even more tentatively than before.
Having broken a leg - the leg is still in plaster. And until we know when the plaster gets removed we wont start planning on learning to walk again. And we don't know how long it will take to learn to walk again
