Good news. All of my contractors, and all but 1 of my employees are fully vaccinated. I've been hearing from other Senior Project Managers about having to rehire half their staff. I wonder if all the fields are like this.

My M1 Air is still substantially better at encoding and premiere than our threadripper workstations.
I often wonder about the back stories of people who so business calls their entire train ride. Like what job is it that requires that? Why do they always sound so important? If they are that important then why are they taking public transport??

Consultant types do this all the time
I think they are not important, but their entire 'value' comes from their apparent availability, so they will never cancel a meeting (but the meetings are contentless so they don't require anything other than the person's presence)

So that you can see them and know that they are important
If youre important you wear a hoodie and have a bad haircut right?

Chat, I did something and threw my back out, but I'm not sure what I did.
Standing it feels like there's a knife wedged in my back at my waist by my spine. It's sort of a constant, dull but terrible pain.
If I sit down, it still hurts that way, but when I stand up it transitions to scream level pain, and I have to hold both sides of the chair to lift myself up, then straighten out.
Not sure how many more days of this I can take, since one at work was too many.

As a doctor, I routinely take consultations on the subway but make sure that I’m very loud do that my patient on the phone hears me. I also use their full name and ssn routinely so that they understand I’m referring to them.

Of the other eight that I work with, two seem likely to try and hold out for a religious exemption that there's pretty much a 0% chance they'll receive, at which point they'll fold in protest and likely eat a short suspension while waiting for the vaccine to take effect, and a third has said he'll refuse and they'll have to fire him.

Ice. Then a hot towel. Microwave a wet towel. Hold it there.
Lie down in whatever way relieves the pain the most. And just take it easy for a day.Take pain meds. See a medical professional.

Nah, it's about money. Consultants are usually billed for hourly. So if the clients are requiring them to attend daily meetings, that's 5-10 billable hours a week for that one client. 3 clients and they are billing 25-30 hours a week, and at $125 an hour, and they can send them to a different site. That's just lucrative.

@credeiki the company was founded on the east coast but basically everyone works remote. I think the c-suite might lean east coast, so maybe scheduling does skew that way. I know my direct supervisor is east coast. I’m a morning person so I’m not put out at all, especially if it means I can justify signing off a little earlier.

Yes. They’re going to say rest, ice, heat, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and maybe muscle relaxers.

Dry beans work too, and might already be in your cabinet.

The new job starts in 13 days. I thought it over and decided I was willing to give up to one week’s notice. That way I have time to arrange my office setup to my liking, and I have time to start some positive habits around sleep and diet and etc before I begin working from home. My plan was to work those shifts, curious about the experience of working a low stakes week where I could leave at any time if unhappy.
So I brought two letters of resignation: one effective in a week, one effective immediately. I barely even got a sentence out about having received an offer when the assistant store manager got shitty, basically accusing me of doing my big vacation as the beginning of my quitting- ‘so why didn’t you put in your notice before vacation if you were planning to run out on us’
At that point I took both letters out of my pocket, made a show of glancing back and forth between them, and said ‘if that’s how you feel, I’ll be giving you this one’ and handed him the effective immediately letter. Walked away before he even read it.
