I’ll add a few shops I’ve discovered

Summer Break Soaps
Their Cannonball! Shave soap is the best I’ve used in a long time and smells amazing. I’ve also got a bar of their shampoo that is delightful.

The Skin Brewery
Their soaps smell so good and is of wonderful quality. Their pumpkin soap smells practically edible and my skin feels amazing after using it. If you wanna smell like the snack you are, get a bar.

Prentious Glassware
Hand blown glasses out of Knoxville, TN. Perfect for the beer or whiskey enthusiast in your life.

I hate managing people or logistics and scheduling. What would this role be called? Do you see it as demotion from CD?

Let’s talk office set ups. I am looking at a Uplift standing desk as my big splurge because I have back issues, and the room I work in has horrible lighting so I’m considering some sort of selfie light ring type thing that I can clip to my monitor. Anyone have feedback on either the desk or a light they like, or any other ergo friendly home office hacks you’ve found helpful?

Reading “the call” posts on LinkedIn is a cold reminder to be grateful for having a job.

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.
