Had my first day at work after a little more than 5 months off due to paternity leave. And whaddya know - they weren't ready for my return. My boss has known since August that I would return at about this time, and I told everybody at a department event on November 1st that I would return this week, and there is absolutely zero tasks waiting for me. I did some e-learning on GDPR to kill some time, talked to people and had lunch today, was there for 5 hours before getting home to pick up the children from day care and school. But tomorrow I'll be back at work at 9 am and don't know what to do.
I was told I had to help make some changes to how our APIs work so that we can release new versions of those outside of "normal" (big) releases but our IT architect is not ready to talk about how we do that. So I'll have to take small tasks from here and there to spend the time. I find that a bit disappointing.
