The Wicked One π@jerry Are you ok Jerry ?

Nick@jerry on the plus side everything is very carefully planned. However there is a new concept known as sleep I think you'd enjoy... If you can fit it into you schedule
@wintervirus the last time i slept well was early May, 2000 before my first son was born. Been on a πβ since then
@jerry my daughter just turned 18 and I figured the sleepless night would be over but... nope, still worry when she is out and about
Aditya Anand@jerry Holy sh*t! Hope while having to maintain this server you don't start sleeping in the office. 'Cause that would be some irony.
cyber.philosohack@jerry does this include beach meets?
I have 30 meetings and increasing this week, which is more than enough!

PJ Perez@jerry oof. Back at AWS I had 15-20 meetings a week and that was unbearable for me. I didn't have time to prepare things unless I started missing lunches etc or, yeah, worked 50hrs. It's one of the reasons why I decided to move on.
Steve Gibson 
@jerry Jesus weptβ¦ hopefully some of which can at least be taken from the βbeach officeβ?
@steve I have a view of the beach from my desk, and I live vicariously through my wife who toils away down in a beach chair
JonnySchnittger @jerry ... rip :/
Koyn 
@jerry I spend an average of 7 hours each day in meetings... I feel your pain!
Where I work, there's a running joke that the work day is to plan all the work you're going to do once the work day ends. π€¦
Stephen K πβ’οΈβοΈπΊπ¦ @jerry Same, I'm a Staff Security Engineer and I tend to have more meetings than actual hands on work....

Emeralds@jerry but why
JackTLadd@jerry π nonononono
b1sh0p@jerry I cannot in good conscience favorite this, Jerry. Take care of yourself sir.
probably@jerry this is horrifying
Mans R@jerry I wasn't wondering, but I am now.
rhcmuts@jerry so my guess is that when you keep notes you keep eye contact with people whe typo g furiously what you need to keep notes on.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have enough time for an after-action note?
Do you need to process anything that came up during calls?
Or do you have an army of scribes and do-ers to do any actions decided during those calls?
@rhcmuts I mostly make decisions all day long
