Early morning. Campo 24 de Agosto. In **4 minutes, you are clocking in at the office**. After grabbing a **cup of coffee and fresh fruit**, pick up your **laptop and choose your spot for the day**. It's going to be a busy one**:French class** before lunch and, just after, quick **medical appointment** at Natixis doctor's office.

Lunch break. Outside in the big **terrace **(look at your crops at the **Urban Garden**; ready to harvest) or, if you feel like stretching your legs, **walk downtown **to grab lunch.

Back inside. Quick sprint review (working together anywhere means virtual happy birthday to that colleague in Paris that just turned 35). The afternoon went flying (tasks, reports, calls, some jokes with your teammates). End it on a high note: just one **PlayStation** game or the final match for that **ping-pong** tournament.

Tomorrow, you complete that **certified technical training **and the day after, you will** work from home, **taking advantage to finally do that **online course on Udemy.** Once you are done with your tasks for the day, you can visit the office for a **board games** session or show up at the rehearsal of one of **Natixis bands.** If that is too steady for you, meet your colleagues to **surf** some waves or join them in a **football match.
