There was a leadership offsite last week that I did not attend because of my own family from India over. Turns out 13 out 15 are now down with Covid, so the offsite ended up being a super spreader event. Every one of the 13 are basically working and no ones taken off. This is how “endemic” at this point Covid has become IMO. You can’t blame anyone not taking this seriously – eh, look at the good part here – the vaccines worked, and they worked brilliantly well!
The whole Joyce Hopper story line in Stranger Things S4 is a big fat bore honestly. LIke I couldn’t care two hoots about either character and frankly at this point I wouldn’t mind if demons ate them up to save us of the misery of tolerating these two.
Glad to US ending the nonsense testing requirement to enter the country. Like boss you have highest number of cases and deaths in the world lekin kya drama karna hai. Good riddance.
Last day of school today and I can’t help feeling how big my kid has gotten 🙁 – time is flying by and I can’t do anything to stop it.
In spite of more of the same feeling stranger things season 4 does really improve. On episode 4 and def feel the need to finish the series – which is basically saying it’s not born if even though it feels the same.
A report of mine blew up today because he felt I kept him in the dark and I didn’t pull him in when required, and that I had sidelined him even though he really should have been owning it because he was the SME.
All valid points. How do I as a manager tell him though that the reason I am doing all of it is to inherently protect him; that he had a small HR complaint against him (no, nothing serious), and that a VP specifically requested he not be included because of his cynical attitude even though he is a smart chap?
Joys of management.
The people of Hawkins are not very smart are they?
So odd to see AMZN stock trading in 3 figures.
At the career fair yesterday afternoon I met some of R’s friends that she used to hang out with a lot in previous grades but has sort of been a bit in and out of touch with them. Anyway, I ask this 5th grader where her bestie is, and this girl goes into a long story about how *she* suffers from anxiety attacks, and she had one a few days ago and she had to miss school. Now her bestie is also *faking* her own anxiety attack so she could stay home too. I had no idea how to react to this and could only mutter “I hope you both are feeling better now!” and leave it at that. But, kid, never lose that ability to talk about your mental health in open like this. I love the honesty you displayed and awareness of your own self, even as a fifth grader. Please, please do not grow up to become an adult who keeps everything inside and does not open up! Keep doing you what you are doing & you will do great.
Took part in career fair at school today where I explained what I do for a living to students. I won’t like I kinda felt a bit (just a bit) safer knowing that the booth next to mine was the police department’s and the next one was fbi, both of whom were with their guns. What a sad fucking feeling to have this.
