I was at the office today. vs I was in the office today.

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in slightly different contexts. 'I was at the office today' implies being physically present at the office, while 'I was in the office today' suggests being inside the office building. The choice between the word 'at' and the word 'in' depends on the specific location you'd like to emphasize.
