1) Download Caffinated so you’re always active on skype even if you’re napping

2) Setup a call with yourself and present to yourself to be seen as “Presenting”. Then proceed to nap

Download ghost mouse - get with the times

Have a ppt presentation run continuously instead. Get with the times.

Just use an analog watch

Or for those of us who can’t download anything on our computers without software approvals... plug in your laptop and turn off sleep mode 😅

Some laptops will still end showing you as inactive...just run a ppt continuously in presentation mode.

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?

Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure
