Maybe I’m terrible at multitasking, but I can’t imagine physically walking on a treadmill, mentally thinking about the pace I need to maintain, while trying to line up some object in PowerPoint. I would either fall off the treadmill or have some very sloppy slides 😅

^ so what you’re saying is.. you don’t focus on your calls? 🤪

Some people know how to multi-task. Also, exercising while working helps improve memory and thinking skills. Try it.

I use one at work and at home. I like it — of course, don’t forget to change up your posture and sit occasionally as too much standing in the same position is also bad for you.

Sounds like an opportunity for DVTs

Have you ever tried to bring about a change/stood up for something at home/office etc. Did it succeed/fail? How was the experience?

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?
