Virtual happy hour yesterday with 6-8 co-workers.
Time with our 20-yr old daughter.
The technology is working for my wife to do her part time role at home.
Grateful we’re all healthy.

1. My Son he is the USAF and I’m so proud
2. My SO even with all this togetherness, he has shown in big and small ways how much he cares about me with actions.
3. I am so thankful to be in a career where I can work from home and so far continue to be compensated well for it. There are a lot of people who must go to work because they won’t get paid or because they are in the restaurant industry seen their compensation disappear completely

like

1. How much time I’ve been able to spend with my wife and son (haven’t seen them this much since he was born).

Good morning / Hello! Just a reminder that you don't have to put up with anyone's bullshit today. 🤙 Stick up for yourself and your workload (professionally and with examples of needed.) Don’t just say “yes”, to extra work. Decline that meeting that someone sends today for 5pm. Calibrate people’s expectations. It’s okay to not turn your camera on. And be sure to take a minimum of 30min and get outside if you can. Handle your biz, and make it a great Friday. 💯 💻📲📊📧

Hi! I had an interview from a company as a graphic designer. They have moved my application forward and gave me a designer task. I have been following up and they always said that they are still reviewing all the other task from the candidates. They said they will give an updates twice after following up every week. I had the interview and task 3 weeks ago. Do you guys think that I still have a chance?

Thank you ❤️
