Just had someone reach out asking me to run for a seat on the school board.

What have you heard or what do you think about such opportunities, particularly when the day job eats up so much time?

I’m on the board for my university and it’s not a huge commitment. We meet one a quarter for 2-3 hours. I guess it depends on what they require of you.

Thanks for sharing. I'd like to do it, just concerned about the time commitment. We'll see what they say about that when I hear back from them.

I seat on 3 board and 1 of them is my university. I have time to work crazy hours and still meet all my commitments. It’s about 3 to 5 hours per month. You will have fun and grow your network. You cannot imagine how this could help you grow your network or even bring sales.

Just curious if anyone else out there is suffering from the stigma of Covid-19 after having recovered and isolated properly? “Friends” in my building have been sending me texts basically ordering me to get tested even though I never even talked to any of them about having had it more than two months ago and one even seems to imply I’ve introduced the virus to “their part” of Brooklyn. Feels a bit like AIDS ignorance in the 1980s.
