If working from home is too antisocial for you, that's a skill issue. #wfh

Does someone else do "pretend" walks or similar to simulate a commute when working from home?

Have you ever tried to use a #StandingDesk for work (whether working from home or in the office), if so would you recommend it?
Since I'm spending about 23/24h sitting (or sleeping) these days, I wonder if I should give it a go.. Please tell me what you think!

I never cease to be mystified by this common work-from-home complaint.
I’ve been 100% wfh aside from a half-dozen short trips to NJ for “all-hands” meetings since 2008. Last one of those was 2016.
I consider solitude when working one of the great positive features of wfh. Having people forcibly interrupt me by their physical presence gained me a ‘prickly’ reputation in my last office.

well that was a more interesting evening than expected!
the teenager phoned us around 2200 saying he’s trapped in the bathroom and the door handle isn’t working properly
so i pedal home from the pub to find that, yes, the cheap and cheerful mechanism i installed a few years ago had failed already
so i improvised a plastic shim from some packing material that was flexible enough to fit between the door and the frame … but too flexible to push the latch into the door

I forgot that working from home this time of year means windows are open and everyone seems to mow their fucking lawns!

Doesn't "No 10 North" sound like 'working from home'? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/29/andy-burnham-no-10-north-nerve-centre-rewired-britain

@… For sure.
I largely love the freedom of working from home, but it feels like pulling teeth to get my coworkers to just like... chat about what they're up to.
Mine are always like "I'll show you the code when it's ready" and protective of anything WIP as if of fear of judgement.
I do miss that part of just like... being present w…

2/2 Then I moved on to working on finalizing the stream and edges of the poolpond.
After a trial run last fall I realized I needed to do a little more sculpting of the clay at the front of the pond where the bog filter and poolpond meet.
I would like to encourage a long waterfall along the front edge.
So after some peeling back of the liners to reinforce the berm in a few spots near the tree especially, I made a proper ledge at the front and am laying down some of the slate that we also used on the #pandemicpond in the front yard. It'll tie the two in conceptually.
Now I am filling the bog filter with city water (the likelihood of filling from the skies is long gone now) but I will only fill it enough to get a read on where the water is wanting to flow.
Ideally I would like two channels from the bog filter.
The main one will go toward the poolpond, along the front and spill over from there.
A secondary one will go close to the tree to be used if I need to divert the water from the poolpond but still want to keep the filter and system active.
Now I wait... I'm running out of time for today but will be back tomorrow. If I'm lucky, I might be able to get a pump back in and start up the system!
the apple waych strap is hiding a tan line... but it is not just a tan unfortunately lol
