In "a" office
Hi,
Will you read the sentence below, which I took from a book?
After having spent a year and a half cooped up in a little office, it felt good to get out and move around.
It says, "in a little office" so does this mean, the character worked for the same single company during this period? or are there possibilities that he was always an office worker but maybe changed his job sometimes.
Thank you,
m

I get the impression that he probably worked for the same company and spent his time in the same office, but it is possible, at least theoretically, that he had more than one job during the 18 months. Nothing in the text excludes that option. CB

Sounds great, since my understanding of it was similar enough to your impression.
