I always use 'we' when talking to my team (when I have one, I'm making do with bossing around my family and the dogs at the moment), but I found I had to learn to say "I" in job interviews. After using 'we' for so long it was hard to switch!
Re pods - I often see people sitting on the floor in them too (and have been known to do that myself, which prompted a colleague to come and check if I was okay). That tiny bit of extra privacy allows unmasking in a way that just isn’t possible in the completely open office.

I love this. A fake cloak of invisibility.
So glad you're back!
lots of really good stuff coming in the next few weeks (but summer readership really dips off)
