I don't have a lot of the issues I see others complaining about, but my teams does randomly shut down and I don't notice until someone sends me an email saying they tried to reach me on teams. Doesn't seem like that has anything to do with corporate policy.

My eyesight is atrocious. One time I was out in a notable windstorm, I stumbled, and my glasses got ripped off my face. I would have been absolutely fuckered if I'd been alone. They'd gotten blown under a car and I never would have found them by myself.

Only if I have a specific question, like is this tent better than that tent. But I don't log in and I haven't since Boost stopped working.

I do miss it sometimes, but time spent on my phone has gone way down and that can only be an improvement.

...yes, and? I don't want to work on site. My WFH schedule is flexible enough that I don't need an “extra day free”. I don't think it's worth it. Working fewer days isn't always better for everyone.

I've been WFH full time since early covid, so WFH for sure. My commute wasn't even bad, my office is less than 10 minutes away.

I'm not a social person so there is no upside to going into the office for me. Everything to do with my job must be communicated by email so it's documented, so it's just a waste of time if someone wants to chat in person or on the phone about it.

Plus I don't have to wear pants.

The one downside is my dogs seem to have developed separation anxiety since I'm around all the time.

Yeah my Catholic school allowed everyone to have whatever hairstyle they wanted. Hair dye, piercings, and tattoos were also allowed. Actually, not sure about the tattoos but I definitely had friends who had them and they weren't expelled or anything.

Just because someone is unsuccessful in killing you doesn't mean it's okay that they continue to try though.

I'm the same about Ariana Grande. Not a fan, but I saw clips of her singing showtunes with Seth MacFarlane and it was incredible. She has such range and while I'm not really familiar with her music, I feel like her popular songs don't do her any favours.
