Weird idea. Is there a way we could set up like a virtual work room? Like one where we're logged onto something like skype/messenger/Google meet/zoom/ZooRoom/Discord or something where we can all be working at night time, but at least not alone. It would mostly be silent, but misery loves company? I legit hate working alone for the whole day and then into the evening too.

I like doing at as my own independent work time tho. My team is really intense and I need some alone time to do my work and not feel pressured to respond to night time requests. Having strangers would be more relaxing. I have been on some teams where I would like that, just not this one.

I’d love it if someone would approach Remo Conference and ask if they’d just open up a standing “conference” that’s actually just an ongoing work room. Then you’d go in and “sit” at a table or sofa and at least be able to sense the presence of other humans. It’s the closest platform I’ve seen that mimics a gathering space in a human way, anyway.

But, the drive to the new job takes over an hour, and traffic is nuts. What are some tricks or tips to keep your sanity when driving to work? I hate traffic and it feels like such a waste of time. I listen to lots of podcasts, but I’m starting to get very bored of them. What do you all do?
