The last 4 weeks or so we have been doing virtual deps. Client sits in his house with a computer w a web cam, lawyers are each in their houses with computers, same for the court reporter.

Now instead of scratching the bed bug bites from some Hampton Inn, I roll in at 9 from rolling around, doing my Nike workout with KG, no planes, no expense reports, but no FF miles. Wonder if this catches on.
Someone in my office in the virtual staff meeting was asking when we'd be going back to the office. I'm like why?

I'm guessing that the venn diagram of the people who want to go back to that life and the people have kids who should be in school is just a circle.
