RT vidhster: I once read that your manager has a greater impact on your health than your doctor and I think about it a lot
-
LittleMxSurly Yeah I had fewer meetings at my last job (although the company as a whole was much less effective) and having a partner who has a more flexible schedule and brings me food to my desk sometimes feels more necessary than luxury :/
-
LittleMxSurly The only thing I’ve been able to do is to make individual meetings more effective / replace some portions with text. Getting everyone out of meetings that can be done by few has opened up some space on my schedule.
-
LittleMxSurly Yeah that sounds completely unsustainable. Do you have a coach? This is the kind of thing they can help with - take you through things like calendar audit etc and help you dig your way out.
-
LittleMxSurly For appts one thing that helps me is to batch them and day a day off (but we have unlimited PTO and an expectation that heavier periods are balanced by lighter periods - eg I took 2 days for “life admin” once we were through perf)
-
LittleMxSurly It’s so hard but when you’re in this kind of hole the most important thing is to get out of it. If you want to talk about it 1:1 happy to listen and try and help.

My new hobby is telling Irish people that Americans are taking horse deworming medicine to (???) covid. Today’s, “how do they think that will help them!” And then he told me he lived on a farm and how bad it is for your skin 😆
-
This is very entertaining because Irish people tend to be very practical and many of them have some experience in farming. Also, Ireland is the 2nd highest vaxxed country in Europe. Second to Malta.
