May dad is 1 week sick with COVID19.  After showing big improvements, his fever came back strong last night.  He’s doing fine but COVID19 is tricky... it tricks you in thinking that you are better but really you are not.

It's definitely less contagious in warmer weather. "Less contagious" still means it can spread like wildfire anyway if people are idiots.

Damn, good luck, man. Tell him a bunch of people he doesn't know are pulling for him.

The owner of our company, the CRO, and I met yesterday.  We are all within a couple years of being classified as boomers (which is only relevant to the previous convo about ideals on the workplace and generations). We were all pretty resistant to the notion of remote workers and the whole WFH notion prior to this.

We are very seriously considering sub-letting 2 of our 3 suites and shifting to a full work wherever/whenever you are productive model.  In a previous post I said we were a "bill 6 hours when you can" but the caveat I left out was we had the notion of "core hours" when everyone was expected to be online.  Even that's on the table now.

The workplace in 2021 is going to be radically different.

 

 

On a personal note I hate it.  I'm ADD enough that being at home is so full of distractions and so devoid of accountability that I struggle to do good work on a daily basis,I blame equally Igo, Reddit, and random household chores.

Im going to need to find some adderall.

The President of my company is a boomer and is going to retire soon.  His son is a Millennial and will be taking over once that happens.  I felt like his son was going to make some changes to our work schedule once he took over, but now I think its a guarantee and he won't get push back from his dad.  Now he can say "remember in 2020 when..."  Specifically I think he's going to let us work from home on Friday's.  

I'm okay with companies experimenting with different business models.  Different industries and different groups of people have different needs, so its time to move away from the cookie cutter model of doing business.  Part of my job requires helping people to design their work space.  Its funny how many times people want an "open office" and then in practice realize all of the drawbacks, and ask us to come back and put in individual offices and conference rooms.  There was one construction management company I was researching that came up with the concept of no assigned seating.  Just tons of work spaces and you kind of "get in where you fit in" each day.  I wonder how that is working out for them.  In my office we'd all end up sitting in the same space everyday anyways.  We don't have "assigned seats" in our conference room for our weekly meetings, but everybody sits in the same chairs they always do every week.

If Europe, Austrailia and the US decide to punish China through economic sanctions, China will have major issues.

The U.S. and the rest of the world will have to break their addiction to cheap poo for that to happen. Good luck with that. I could see this kicking off a major wave of getting India and other places in SE Asia outside of China ramped up to take a bite out of some of China's manufacturing monopoly.

We should move our goods production to South and Central America’s.  It will destroy cartels and will have a huge positive impact on people lives.
