RE: “WE have to create a new way from here and now, and that probably involves the current willing humans (if not you) to change what they do and tangent from there” 👈🏻 See? You’re proving *exactly* my point! The “WE” just doesn’t exist if we first don’t change the conditions under which people operate for them to change.
I’ll give you an example: #Teleworking was coined back in 1973 by willing humans & it wasn’t until March 2020 it became accepted as a working practice. 53 years later!

I'd go one step further, if I may ... Why aren't workers themselves "demanding" to both their employers AND governments to have multiple days working from home for the next foreseeable future establishing #DistanceWorking as a new operating model (for those who can) to help mitigate some of the direct pain they are suffering from (Read ... $$$)
Have we learned anything? It's not as if we are back to 1973, right? 🤔

My "commute" since moving to the Chicory House isn't much longer than it is at our regular home, but it does involve going outside. Want to see?

Now that we’ve finished our move into the Chicory House, I have for the first time in over two months been able to set up my preferred coding environment… with a proper monitor on a proper desk with a proper office chair. Bliss! ×

Today’s mission in what we’re calling the Chicory House – our home while our actual house gets repaired – was to unpack the kitchen. I think it’s looking pretty good!(The cardboard box you can see contains pans we brought with us that turn out to be incompatible with the induction hobs at the Chicory House, […]

Today's mission in what we're calling the Chicory House - our home while our actual house gets repaired - was to unpack the kitchen. I think it's looking pretty good! (The cardboard box you can see contains pans we brought with us that turn out to be incompatible with the induction hobs at the Chicory House, boo!) Next weekend's mission will be to set myself up a workspace that isn't the conservatory dining table. 😬

I’ve lived in a LOT of different places these last few months while we’ve been arranging a place to live for the next six months or so of our house repairs. Each new AirBnB has had its pros and cons (and each hasn’t felt like “home”). But man, I really like the “garden office” at […]

So nice to work in the sun! (I don't like the slow WiFi as much, but yeah... pros and cons!)
