Personal

Good for the ego

It's not quite the same desk, and it's certainly not the same company or the same job but it's rather close. I started work again on Monday and for the time being my office is one room over from the one I left two months ago.

Consequently for the past two days I've been hearing these phrases rather a lot:

I thought you'd left. It's good to see your smiling face again! I knew that voice was familiar. Did you enjoy your break? That's great news.

An overwhelmingly positive welcome. I guess this is what they call a soft landing.
