Zark MuckerburgI found out years ago how good us Americans have it when in the same week it was “to nice out” and on another day “to cloudy to dreary” to work.

Inside the Red Head's HeadRain is a Thing
So rain is still a thing. I mean this from a work point of view.
When Covid hit and we all started working from home full time, I learned to stop really worrying about rain. I didn’t have a commute anymore so I didn’t need to drive to and from work in the rain. I didn’t need to walk out to a parking lot in the rain. I didn’t even need to walk to the driveway. From the perspective of getting to and from work rain (and snow) stopped being a concern at all.
Now that we’re back in the office at least some of the time it’s a thing again and it sucks.
It is pouring rain today. I’m looking out the window and the parking lot looks like a small lake. I have to drive to a different building soon and that means I have to go out in this suck-fest of a rain storm and get drenched so that I can make the next meeting.
Working at home is so much better than working in the office. So much better.
Thus concludes this morning’s rant about rain. Thank you for your time and patience.

BecLFCMy bottom hurts from sitting down all day.
squeakyearsI'm planning to put Linux on my laptop over Thanksgiving break because it's now out of warranty and I'm tired of Windows.
In a team meeting yesterday, my new favorite coworker and I went off about whether I should put a distro with KDE Plasma on it or skip the DE entirely. Everybody else in the room was totally lost. Everybody but one guy seemed happy enough with Windows. We turned to that one last guy and asked his opinion, and he just went "I like macs."
I love this team.
Sitting on a literal all-day conference call is awful.
Doing it when we're expected to have cameras on and be visibly "engaged" the whole time is fucking murder. Even with scheduled breaks, ADHD is making it surprisingly hard to simultaneously pay attention *and look like* I'm paying attention.

Focusing on results or efficiency when discussing remote vs. in-office work is the wrong debate; it's not objective. You can find hundreds of good and bad examples for both ways.
The story should be if these decisions hide a way of firing people for free or hijacking people's time. The favorite ace up your sleeve to look good in front of investors: downsize your staff without spending money on severance pay.
