I have been doing wfh for about 4.5 years continuously. I switched in 2021 and have lost physical contact with close friends from my previous org, who all relocated. But we keep in touch and make trips to meet when we get a chance.
In my new org, I made some good friends but have met in person only a few times. Sometimes I go and meet them, for some months I work from my hometown, for a short while I have also worked from my wife's hometown. Many months, one set of parents stayed with us.

I also went on a team building trip of 3 days outside the city, Met the teammates for lunch, festivals, Diwali/Holi dinners or new year's lunch, and similar festive occasions.
The company has closed their largest India office, and there is still a smaller rented office space where we go once In a month or so.

My wife is working in a bank so she keeps more busy, in the office. With my remote work, we both are able to manage the house, family and find time to celebrate festivals and meet families too.

You can always take hybrid work if you want to have a connect with colleagues and friends at the office.

I am a senior backend developer. I have been working from home since 2020. Switched a job in between and continuing. The following are the things which help me stay sane:
1. Place for everything, everything in its place. I never dine at my desk or take meetings while dining.
2. I have ergonomic setup. I never undock the laptop and work lying in the bed.
3. I follow a routine, that has time for exercise, work, stretching, coffee breaks, nonwork banter with colleague (not every day), after-work walks.
4. I actively socialize, be it going on date(s), meeting with friends.
5. While working, music is always playing in the background on laptop speakers.

These are great tips. I follow some of these too, and I think most people working remotely long term are using few of these tips.
Except for point 4 - music (can't concentrate with music) and point 5 - dating for me (married, my and my wife's idea of dates are different now 😄)

Question: Girl friends parents finally came over for a ristha. Everything went great or so I thought but now she wants to time to think about moving forward. The pain point she brought up is that we are in different states and she is feeling pressed. Although in that time she has started communicating less and I literally had to beg her to get on face time. My gut says she wants to end it but unsure. Any advice ? It's been 2 weeks since this event

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess. Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
