Highlights of your day...

[Nikado7]

Finally was nice out for once so I'm doing nothing.   I wanna see what everyone else is doing.  Oh the spy balloon went over me 2 days ago.  Uh yeah.

...I like roaming around in winter weather, do an hour or so in the forest and take some pics if the conditions are right...

There we go.  That was my real intent of the thread to just share the crap we're doing everyday lol.  Always interesting seeing what things people got going on.  Get to know each other more too.

Working at the office today. Last week I can use it before they shut it down. I like getting out of the house a couple days a week so its disappointing to me that it is closing.

Today, I'm hoping I'll end up getting busy on a review I'm working on.  Idk, depends on how things start going.  The day's just started so far so I guess I'll see how much I actually end up accomplishing today. -_-

...rent a small office near-by ? I honestly think at least a weekly (I prefer daily) change of scenery / 'wallpaper' is important for the mental health.

They have another office, is just not as convenient to get too, is smaller, and has only one open desk supposedly. I need to check it out.

 

Its also not downtown either, so no walkable restaurants or other things like that, so just a worse experience.

Idk why I just thought of it, we should have a month long ehw stock market game.  I know there's sites that do it just like f@h where we can all see each other and stuff.  I only say that as I watch my investment go straight down lol

Yeah my reaction too. I 100% agree with your point about mental health. COVID lockdown forcing 100% WFH for a year and a half really brought forward how much I value separating work from home physically twice a week. I came back two times a week when the office reopened in Sep 2021, but no one else did and they didn't force anyone to, so made sense why these are closing now that the lease was up.

Mental health in the age of COVID might have been over-rated for some. I had a blast during the lockdowns...

Speaking of mental health...as I have an extensive 'home office' where everything is -w-cooled and whisper-quiet - while our near-by 'commercial office' is mostly servers (with plenty of 8k - 10k rpm fans  ) -  I make sure to:

a.) do the daily forest thing, per above (after all, this is British Columbia) and
b.) one of my systems always has relaxing music (often J S Bach) on when I work on the other...

Well if I actually had a home office, maybe I could do something cool too.

 

Anyway it wasn't so much anything to do with socializing, most of the time I had the whole place to myself. Was more just I got out of the house, went out to lunch, or took nice walks on the days I brought my lunch (my wife always makes me awesome hot lunches) and it was great. Wife got some space for a few hours, etc. It was just healthy for both of us.

...I get cranky when I do not have enough free space / time for myself. It makes the rest of the time of togetherness worth more, IMO.
