Does that mean you'll be working normal hours again, or does it just mean you're going to be sitting in an office in the middle of the night all the time?

I think our offices are technically fully open now but we have already moved out so they can revamp the spaces to accommodate hoteling stations for people to come in as needed. I do have to go in for customer meetings three days next week.

Not exactly sure.
Went to the grocery store over lunch. Lady scans my stuff and I say I don't need a receipt, I got four things and the owners are my neighbors so I won't argue with them anyhow. As I leave I see on the screen, "senior discount". I was excited at first about it, then I got kinda irritated. How old does this lady think I am? She is much older than me. I appreciate the discount but I don't think 50 is considered senior. Cripes, 50 seems so much older when I look at that number.

When i worked service jobs i just gave everyone any discount i thought if a manager called me on it i could justify.

Yes and no. There have been the normal cuts with acquisitions. With remote work there has been people who have moved away but continued to work at the ol radio/airplane factory (including the previous owners of our current house). Company is back to growing post covid.

Different places have different ages for a senior discount. I never check and I never ask. If someone gives me one I don't whine about it.
I got a senior discount at Village Inn once, it was 25 cents. If I was a real senior I would have been pissed.

I didn't say anything there. Think I'm more whining about realizing I'm just getting old to people. I'm still in my 20s mentally but apparently I don't appear that way.

I wasn't implying you were whining but some people don't like it if offered.

I used to be a snot nosed punk ass *****
Now I'm a snot nosed old ass *****
