We're going to have a barbecue day with my family. I invited my parents over. Been looking forward to this family day!

AHH I hope you have a great time. My family is back in the Midwest and I miss them so much.

Honestly, I am catching up on some rest. I have been working tirelessly lately. My body just needs a break.

Amen

drinks + rest from corporate America

I was hoping to get some rest but I think I use the time to get some work. I'm a little behind

Staying as far away from work as possible. Dedicating this time to my family only. It's gonna be fun having my parents and in-laws under the same roof!

I had to return an item today (last day), rembrd at 5pm. Drove to the store before I'd forget. There was "rush hour traffic".... As I was sitting there waiting in traffic, I wondered why would I want to go back to office every day and rush to leave at like 5 to beat the traffic and get to my kids school on time? Then a rushed dinner, bed, more work at home later, followed up early morn waking up getting ready to again drive for an hr...
I miss interactions bt the alternative is such rushed life!

Anybody have a method or guidance for “guerilla” interviewing for research?

Our agency doesn’t do interviews as part of the planning process, maybe fairly common given timeframes for projects. Trying to figure out my personal planning process though and I get a lot out of talking to people who fit the target — however, I have no clue how to find the right people outside of people I already know. If you have experience finding interviewees on your own would love to hear how you go about it.
