  • If possible - feel free to go on walks by yourself during breaks or go listen/watch something under a tree nearby but out of sight. Maybe find a coworker or two to go on walks with you.

    You don’t have to go 100% social or antisocial - but maybe sprinkling in one or the other could help re-energize.

    I typically have on-sites once a quarter and 4 days of meetings and dinners can be quite a swing from my usual remote hermit lifestyle. In addition to sporadic walk breaks between meetings, I will try to duck out an hour or two before we all go out for dinner – my coworkers are pretty understanding that I’m using this time to recharge or run/workout.

  • I kind of just set the bar that “this” is the level of enthusiasm and energy you can expect from me – I’m not a cheerleader.

    Improving your social skills is a valid goal. But in the context of a workplace – make sure it’s aligned. Will people listen to you and your guidance on a project? Have you built up enough rapport to delegate or assign work? Etc.

  • Typically I will Instapot just the meat in large batches:

    • Beef: Carne Picada or Stew Meat
    • Pork: Shoulder/Butt
    • Chicken: Thighs

    Add a can of salsa, chipotle adobe, or seasoning if desired. I usually just keep the beef bland with maybe some soy sauce.

    Cook - refrigerate - put into ziplock bag and freeze.

    Over the week I’ll break off 100-200g portions and add to things like eggs, salads or curry dishes.

    So – while not a ready to eat meal – the dishes that I do cook daily only take 5-10 minutes with this method.

  • Some people consolidate on things in their 60s after retirement and don’t necessarily want more things. If this person has shown signs of that - then something disposable like food/snacks/sweets.

  • Does WP Engine have much of a product without Automattic’s blessing? How much damage has already been done implanting into a WP Engine’s customer’s mind that they should start thinking about alternatives?

    Is it anything other than a sinking ship?

  • They're calling it Disease X. It's a mysterious illness circulating in a remote part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Current figures: almost 400 cases and 79 deaths. International health authorities are monitoring.
