The company of female coworkers.

I think you could probably just say: “the company of opposite sex coworkers” I think we all thrive on the energy of others especially whomever we polarize with.

Colleagues. Pretty much don’t miss anything else.

The food!

Maybe a chat with a coworker or two but otherwise, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze (i.e., shower, dress, eat, commute) to be somewhere and do the same thing I’d otherwise do from home office. And quite frankly, my home office is much nicer and designed specifically for inducing my peak performance.

Being able to pop in on someone to help work through design solutions. And the view from the top of the city. Other than that, not much. DO NOT miss the commute, not going to sit in rush hour again.

I don’t want things to go “back to normal,” and lately I’ve been reading what feels like a lot of disingenuous arguments for reopening “for people’s mental health.” As someone who was suffering from the way things were before and is now thriving from the slowdown (both in work and personal life), I wish we could all stop pretending like we were living in some mental health utopia before the shut down.

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
