I gave the entire class an extension until 11:59 tonight, the last possible minute they can submit course work without going through the troublesome (and expensive) process of petitioning the registrar's office for permission to submit late. Half still have not turned anything in with just over 2 hours left on the clock. I'm starting to get nervous.

Standing up at desk, leaving office, never returning #health

Health Experts Recommend Standing Up At Desk, Leaving Office, Never Coming Back
ROCHESTER, MN—In an effort to help working individuals improve their fitness and well-being, experts at the Mayo Clinic issued a new set of health guidelines Thursday recommending that Americans stand up at their desk, leave their office, and never return. “Many Americans spend a minimum of eight hours per day sitting in an office, but we observed significant physical and mental health benefits in subjects after just one instance of standing up, walking out the door, and never coming back t…

I know, I know, I should not send work-related messages after office hours. But sometimes I forget to schedule the delivery for “tomorrow at nine.”
But then, colleagues (yes, plural!) accepting meetings at 23:14, what’s wrong with YOU?

The Simple Habit That Saves My Evenings | alikhil | software engineering, kubernetes & self-hosting
As a software engineer, I often work on big tasks that require hours of continuous and focused work. However, we have plenty of meetings, colleagues asking us something in Slack, and lunch breaks. Add a colleague who comes to you and calls you for a cup of coffee if you work from the office. And usually, we don’t really have such a luxury as hours of uninterrupted time. Nevertheless, sometimes we catch the flow of productive and focused work at the end of the workday. Imagine you come up with…

Andy Burnham and ID cards in the news ... takes me back! The Home Office brought their ID card propaganda to the South Gyle Shopping Centre in Edinburgh. That was the first protest I ever organised.
Andy Burnham was minister for ID cards, and after a few hours of us ensuring TV cameras could not get a shot without our NO2ID banner being visible, took me and another campaigner for coffee to discuss our concerns. He was never going to change policy based on what we said, but he did liste…

Had a call today where it was announced a co-worker passed away after a private illness. The host said they "were always the first one in [to the office] and the last one out", and not a lot else.
I didn't know this person or their situation, so I'm not commenting directly on this.
However, it does remind me of the idea: a year after you pass, the only people who will remember that you worked long hours are your family.
RIP, co-worker.
