Not all, but I was pretty aggressive, so I'm happy with the results. I'll just tack the others onto next year and hopefully finish stronger.

That’s a great way to look at things. “Be proud of the progress that you did make.” I’m definitely going to use that

Not quite, but frankly I accomplished more than I thought I would, so I'm calling it a win. 100% better than last year, which is always the goal. In competition with myself is how I try to think about it.

Hello All,

I am currently working as Talend ETL Developer. Company which I am working currently doesn't have projects for this skillset. Need some suggestions. Which technology is good now in current market similar to the skills which I am having. So I will be upskilling me in that technology.

Yesterday my younger brother called me looking for good hidden swimming spots in the mountains. He was up there with a bunch of friends and their original plans had fallen apart hard. And I go much more often than he does.

I told him I had map pins that are EXACTLY what you need for these hard to find places. I can send them in 10 mins when I get home.

Reply? Forget it, I'm all set.

Yep, 10 mins is too long. Here I was expecting "Wow! That's fantastic!" How silly of me.

Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work.
