I have the opportunity to work from home in another country for four weeks next year. Since I handle large amounts of data, I am considering taking an LTE router with me and using it to go online. Does anyone have experience with how this works in other countries such as Italy, or what costs to expect?

Schon ein gutes Stück durch die Stunden, schnell genug, aber noch ohne Fahrtwind. Das merkwürdige Gefühl der Freude, einige Themen abzuschließen, wenn gleichermaßen kein Mangel an Angefangenem herrscht, das liegenbleibt und nie fertig wird. Sonne arbeitet sich an den wenigen Wolkenlöchern ab, immer wieder regnet es mehr oder weniger verhalten, Hände und Nasenspitze bleiben kalt, das Zimmer zu warm. Pause im Unaufgeräumten, kurzes Durchatmen, nur wenig Bewegung. Dann knackt es wieder in den Hörern, Bildschirme flackern, zwischen ersten Grußformeln und stummgeschalteten Mikrofonen biegt man in die nächste Runde ein. Ziel: Noch nicht in Sicht.

11am again already. A brief glimpse of winter slowly sneaking into these mornings. Hands cold, really powering on heater for one of the first times this season. Clutching to another hot coffee, waiting for the rest of the world to connect. Syncing people still is challenging, and distance doesn't make this much easier.

I have to keep reminding myself of the differences in cultural practices when communicating with members of my team from around the world. I sometimes will see a comment that comes across as *super* rude, or dismissive or pushy, but every. single. time. it's just a difference in culture and not intended that way.

It's worth while to stop and consider that any time you see such a thing. "Assume positive intent" with regards to your co-workers and/or customers.

When Kyiv's power cut off the lights
Workers looked for new makeshift sites
They found sofas in stores
Comfy to hold long hours
To do their job with no more fights
