For a while after I got the standing desk I was just using a balance ball to sit on.
Currently buying a new office chair. I’m normally about 50% WFH and use my standing desk in the afternoons, but at 100% my legs are going to need a break.
Went and got my hair cut, so I’d look nice in the webcams for the next year.
My barber walked up and offered his hand to shake, so I politely offered it to bump instead, because, you know, Corona.
And then I let him run his hands through my hair for 30 minutes. 🦠

The great thing is, I have learnt not to check my blog stats, I’m not bothered about podcast downloads and I sure as hell don’t care how many people follow me on social media.I too, have mastered the art of not checking blog stats, in part by not collecting them at all.

#KnowYourWorth got you feeling down? Make sure you’re not comparing 🍎 to 🍊. Someone making $200k salary with 5 years of experience might sound like a lot but not when you’re living in NYC or SFO.

This video from Atlassian was shared internally at VMware a couple of weeks ago, and my initial comment was that minus the few references to their company specifically, this video was a great representation of the role of Technical Account Managers, generally.
