Tailored Thinking office buzzer.
After working remotely since September, it felt so strange to finally ring the buzzer entering the office.
Myself and Rob (Founder and Chief and Positive Deviant) were yet to meet in person after working together virtually for 7 months.
I started my new role as a Content Developer for Tailored Thinking in September and time has just flown over.
Countless zoom calls, phone calls and emails, it started to feel completely normal to work this way as we get on really well and have created some excellent collaborative work.
Walking through a busy Durham town centre, the sun was shining and I was wearing actual real life clothes and not jogging bottoms, it felt pretty surreal. A real life work commute. How strange! It was a beautiful day for it and it will be a day in my life I definitely won’t forget.
After seeing the office multiple times on Zoom, expectations did not disappoint! I felt the Tailored Thinking branding and positive vibe as soon as I entered.

Rob showed me around the building and the office and where I could access important supplies like coffee.
I was reluctant to add a photograph of myself, but Rob insisted as the writer of this blog I had to show my face. So here I am at my desk in the office.

We had a great chat discussing our new office dynamics and we worked until around lunch time, where we headed into the town centre for lunch. We discovered a lovely little restaurant just by the bridge overlooking the river.
We ordered some delicious food and chatted until it arrived. Which did take a while as the waiter forgot about us… but we didn’t mind and even got some free fries!
Good food better company!
After a lovely lunch trip, we headed to Flat White Kitchen for some coffee and strolled back to the office.
The day exceeded expectations and I am super excited to start working in the office alongside Rob. Hopefully this will provide us with opportunities for us to create even better work in order to make work better!
I hope for anyone else who has started a job remotely in the last 12 months that you have a first day as pleasant as mine, when and if returning to the office.
