After six months working at home, tomorrow I will go back to the office. We are gradually going back, it would be 6 of us in our department (we’re 15). I have to admit I am terrified about three things:
1- Shoes. I’ve been barefoot for six months. I’m very likable to fall down and kiss the ground because I have forgotten how to walk in formal shoes.
2- Actual office clothing. I’ve been living on a track suit since March. I’m specially terrified about trousers with zippers. I’m avoiding them this week, but I cannot avoid them forever.
3- My hair. My crazy dull curly hair. I’ll have to do something so I don’t look like I’ve just escaped from Ok Hospital 😱
I keep repeating to myself: Fighting!!

      It’s so true! I can’t believe tomorrow I’m wearing shoes!! Shoes!! I have two shoe cabinets full of shoes and I’ve only use a pair of sneakers and flip flops since March!
      I foresee tragedy. I’m telling you.

    Take plasters! I had epic blisters after my first day back in formal shoes…..I literally had to walk home in bare feet (once I was clear of the train station) because I couldn’t stand it.

      I will! Good thing is I drive to work and don’t have to walk much, but it will be all day long in the office.

    Oh well – don’t expect things to be normal or the way they were before. NOTHING will ever be the same!

    I feel your pain about wearing clothes other than sweatpants and sandals or bare feet!

    Good luck at work. I feel like you should just rock up in trackies and no shoes and see what happens.

      I’ll give shoes a try. At least for the first day. Flat shoes, anyway.
