We won't be back until the UK calls an end to "working from home if you can".
Bubble buddies that's sounds all cute and pleasant..not at all like "pick your potential plague carriers wisely" :)

I am a learning tech so while I do meet with our academic colleagues every day, the last few months have proven that we are more efficient WFH, so I think we will all push to work from home even when this is over, if this is ever over.
Re bubble buddies, my thought exactly, not only there are risks fo being buddy up with dirty people (sorry but some people! 🙄), what if you are teamed with with those who you don’t usually get on and now you are stuck with them for potentially months. But what are the alternatives if we have to provide some sort of services to students...
There is 1 thing I am so so glad, we are due to move buildings in the next few years to a purpose built and the current plan pre Covid was hot desk throughout. I think this will not happen anymore, I am relieved. I like my desk the way I arrange it!

Not sure about your workplace but I think we are going to do bubbles of people for those who have to go back before the start of term, so it’s pot luck with who your bubble buddies are.
Luckily, I don’t think our team will be back till at least end of the year.
