After things reopened post-Covid he was actually looking forward to going back into the office and working in person with coworkers. But so few of his coworkers came back in that he kept working from home and the company canceled the lease on the building he was working out of. Now “going back to the office” will mean a much longer drive on much busier highways to a high-rise where they don’t currently have enough space if everyone does come back.

Fortunately, he’s close enough to retirement that he can just bail when that happens.
