Today I rolled the dice by taking a nice 2hr nap at 5PM. I woke up and I only missed a Teams from the partner by 15 mins. Solid effort 6.5/10

If you consider 5pm naps “working hour” naps, you have a problem. Ever since Covid, I shut down no later than 5pm for the day.

As long as the meeting was not scheduled, can take a nap at 5pm.

That said, you get 4/10 at best.

Pro-tip: I’ve figured out that during COVID work from home, it’s easy to sneak a nap in here and there when things are (very occasionally, unfortunately) slow.

Step 1: Download move mouse
Step 2: Hook laptop up to TV or speakers, and switch laptop audio to external output
Step 3: Crank volume on speakers/TV and laptop to 100%
Step 4: Set your status as available and turn on MoveMouse
Step 5: Nap

When I get emails or messages it wakes me up every time! (Though sometimes I also close outlook so only pings wake me up lol)

My rationale is Move Mouse actually does have some legit applications. I often run it when I’m leading calls to make sure I don’t accidentally let my laptop go to sleep, etc

I hate Teams but to be fair. I need to get better with it.

It's a piece of crap, theres nothing to get better with. Its clunky, slow, obnoxious, half the time when I get a call theres no button to pick up the call.

Its trash software.

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

However, her behavior towards me changes from week to week, sometimes she is very supportive and encouraging then she switches to making critical or harsh indirect comments that are not about the results of my work but imply she would do it differently. How would you handle approaching this with your superior?
