Recently started using IRC again. I'm usually logged in at home and
office using irssi. I would have sworn that when I did that ages ago
that I was able to have the same nick @ both locations. Is there a way
to transparently (not trying to be sneaky) login from two locations
but maintain the same nick?

You would need to use a bouncer. tl;dr bouncer proxies your connection
to the IRCd so only one connection is ever there as far as the IRCd is
concerned, then you connect to your bouncer as many times as you want.
I recommend [ZNC](https://wiki.znc.in/ZNC) its fast and light. Its
also the "go to" most people use
