Do you feel like your output at work is consistent? Sometimes I feel like I can knock something out in 2 hrs that normally takes 10 hrs and vice versa. Is this normal? How do you achieve consistency?

It’s normal, it’s human.
I’ve not been able to remove this completely, but I’ve been trying to make the most of my productive hours. Eg - I’m focused and productive ? - I’ll go as long as I can. I see that I’m turning in circles and not getting stuff done? - I’ll either go home early and take a break for yoga / nap / dinner or try to catch up on other stuff I need/want to do (eg personal or admin). Something is taking me hours because I’m tired and I know I can do it faster? - I’ll go to bed and tackle it in the morning.

It’s not perfect but at least I try to manage and optimize my peaks and throughs. That’s easier when more senior in your tenure though bc you are responsible for managing your time to output and you know how long it’ll take.

Got a fat cat who has a timed/measured feeder. Still gaining weight. We were all stumped. Turns out my cattle dog shares her food with the cat every morning. Someone recommended a water spritz to get him away from the food. I basically soaked him for a few minutes while he stared at me and continued eating. Looks like I'll have to lock him up while the dogs eat from now on.

Hi! This is a question directed to my Canadian tech folks... How do I get a job in the US? I'm currently a Canadian citizen and I keep seeing a lot of opportunities in the US, but some of the opportunities I see say that they will not be offering visas... So if anyone has any advice on how to go about doing this, it would be greatly appreciated! The pay I'm currently getting is not good for the amount of work I'm doing...

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer.

I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
