There's added latency from having to VPN to work though (socks redirect with ssh in my case).<br /><br />6:30 - Here's a tip: if you're not a morning person and you normally need to get up early for work, then get up early *every* day. It becomes a habit and not too bad.<br /><br />When I was still sleeping in every chance I got, getting up in the mornings was a daily struggle. Now my body expects to get up early and I wake up pretty fresh and clearheaded from the start. I'd probably wake up even if the alarm doesn't ring.Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-35261132705561333962022-01-15T23:28:43.945+09:002022-01-15T23:28:43.945+09:00Sorry to hear about your internet/WFH problems.

Coupled with low-latency, this is not much different from the office, modulo needing to ssh into things all the time (vs half the time at work :).<br /><br />Also fully agree about the making your own coffee - that's indeed a significant plus.<br /><br />But: "Today I woke up at 6:30 as usual." - man, I never managed to achieve that.

Which is cool.<br /><br />I like the idea of fishing. I'm not sure I would enjoy the reality of it.

Once or twice a year I catch a legal walleye and then it's a treat to have the fresh fish. I do have ethical problems with C&R, can justify fishing for dinner but struggle to justify tormenting a fish for my entertainment. It hasn't been enough to stop me fishing though..<br /><br />We've been working from home for 2 years now. The office re-opened a couple of weeks before Omicron hit. It's still open but I decided not to go in until the hospitals are in better shape. The company has a hybrid working scheme, had planned to be in the office 3 days a week before Omicron. I'm an introvert not a hermit, the fulltime wfh is wearing.<br /><br />Douglas Kretzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594782071750975708noreply@blogger.com
