The workplace was much different in the early 90s when I began working on Wall Street as a research assistant for the Investment Company Institute. (For the record, I was Chandler Bing before Matthew Perry.) I used mainframe terminals, not PCs. Ties were mandatory, which I often paired with suspenders. I had hair. And I went to the office every day.

Many things have changed in the last 30 years (my how time has flown) – suspenders, and my sons will tell you, hair included. The office is still the office, but on those days when I work at home, I am joined by the Firm’s Chief Morale Officer, Cheeto. Cheeto is good at reminding me (and everyone he meets) that it is okay from time to time to simply relax and purr.
