Sparkles

Start with the little things you can change. Environmental noise, can you get headphones or earplugs? Social media making you feel down, curate your feed, change sites, or even take a breather. Change up a routine, try a different food, or a hobby. Whatever is in your power, a novel experience might be an idea. Decorate/personalize your space. Add some lights, tapestries, whatever you like. These are some ideas I’ve tried personally and enjoyed a few of.

I’m afraid, depending on the administration, it might be hard to protect myself and others with what was previously considered common sense …vaccination, protective equipment, etc

What else are they gonna do? Play outside in the 100+heat highway adjacent parking lot?

Yeah my kids basically took over my steam account already on the family gaming computer. Alas.

Basically, they provide a decent Chromebook. It’s nearly impossible given the actual tasks. So I need to find a better way.

I am going wfh and I have to use their one drive to access client data. They will provide a computer, but versus my home setup it’s simply not worth it. I saw the idea about virtual windows and Linux machine. I’ve never done it but I imagine I can with some trial and error. But I’m wondering if even that is safe.

Yeah I don’t know what to do with this. I’m about to start to start wfh and handle a lot of data that cannot be shared and comes with big fines for mishandling. I have to have office, mainly excel. Is Apple my only option? I know Linux exists, but I’m not a power user, I struggle with my printer.
