I’m starting to get stir crazy. I live in a house in the burbs so I can go outside in my yard and safely take walks in my neighborhood. How are you guys staying busy outside of work?

I stayed put in NYC. Work keeps me busy during the week, so on weekends if the weather is nice I go on long walks and try to visit a new essential business each time (e.g. a Japanese grocery store, a coffee shop open for takeout, etc.). It's not much, but it's enough to lift my mood significantly and make me feel less trapped.

I also stayed put in Brooklyn. Going out for a walk around the block without my phone a couple times a day does wonders.

Lots of house projects. Lots of walks and hikes. Lots of cooking. Lots of sex. And plenty of sleeping in since there’s no longer a commute.

The husband gets a bit more stir crazy than I do, he’s added a bit more mileage to his runs.

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
