Thoughts on using an ergonomic keyboard? My biggest concern of using a keyboard that isn't my laptop's is that my typing speed and comfort will reduce when I return to the laptop keyboard once travel and going back to the office resumes. Is this concern rational? How have your experiences been? Does it help overall typing comfort?

I was taking a friend to the airport and her flight was delayed, so we stopped at a restaurant to see a mutual friend who was eating there with her entire extended family. There was an empty table next to them with several half-eaten pies on it, so I assumed a previous party had just finished their meal and left. I finished off 4 of the pies and then left to get my friend to the airport. Turns out the pies were part of an employee appreciation dinner for the servers and so (finished in comment)

What is the attraction for AmEx Platinum over CSR? AmEx gives 5x points for flights, but no travel delay insurance (which is big when stranded), or food/other travel points. CSR gives 3x on so much...

Venting a bit: Are you finding DEI groups at work overrun with allies. Is there also an increase in celebrating said allies? Is it just me?

Most of the groups I'm in (esp. event teams) are being taken over by allies wanting to do what they think should be done to 'celebrate' whatever topic the month is, usually speaking over marginalized coworkers and rarely consulting with them. It seems like the only time this doesn't happen is for gay (usually yt) men or BHM. I'm just feeling so...minimized.
