A company I worked for went full on into a corporate workspace refresh to open concept during COVID. Writing was on the wall and they tried to recall people 3 months into COVID-which failed spectacularly. I found a remote job shortly after and while I do go in from time to time on my own account, I don't really miss traffic or open office plans.

Cuts to scene of worker in a cubicle; camera pans from back of monitor facing the worker to behind the worker - where they are furiously jamming on the keyboard. The game Lunar Lander is shown on the screen.

What kind of stance should I get in to get pegged?

Next level ingenuity lol

If you're ripping out drywall because you tripped over a twist lock cord, something (the outlet box) definitely wasn't installed correctly.

Agreed. I'm the era before every car had a camera, I'd back into my driveway because foggy windows plus backing up sucks. I still back into my driveway even with all of the current day features on my vehicle - it's just less stress in the morning to pull forward.

Especially with the expansion of the open office.. Ugh. I've avoided it for most of my career and I hope to never go back to an official office unless it has a door on it.

Do a little at a time. For example, clean off one countertop. Don't even look at the others - just do the one in front of you. Before long it'll be done, and you might have the energy to take on just one more.
