So, none of you know me personally but I feel the need to tell the internet that I have cancer. Totally curable, but absolutely shitty cancer. I've had surgery and been in chemo in recent months. I'll have some thoughts on that eventually, but I was recently reminded that we should all contribute to the things we enjoy so here I am, back online.
To clarify my last post, I also feel that everyone that did remote work through the pandemic proved that it is viable and that all of us have earned the right to do it if it is possible in your respective industry. Most importantly, if it is a hybrid schedule then that should be based on your preference not an arbitrary schedule
I'm not sure if I am more or less productive working from home but I'm certainly more relaxed. If we got rid of corporate dress codes I don't think I would have much of a preference (I also have a very short commute)
People do respect it when you communicate your feelings in the workplace. Just you know, pick your moments and err on the side of privately discussing it.
I had a job application denied today, I'm employed and fine, but it feels like my current role has ruined my confidence that I can work well on a functioning team. Outside of putting out fires I'm not sure what my skillset is anymore.
My fascination with space has been pretty well destroyed by the modern space race of subsidized billionaires. Remarkably relevant picture this time.
Oh right, also 3 years ago I quit drinking
I put in effort at work, did a hard bike workout, and pet several cats.
