I rolled out of bed at 5h45, did 40 minutes of weight lifting & stretching & was ready to go by 6h45.

You're all lazy bums.

Morning people are weird.

Sure but I haven't work after 3pm in years.

I work from home since 2020, switching from retail pharmacy to a pharmaceutical company.

I am never going back. I make about 10% less and I could not care less.

Ireland has more space to develop than the UK?



Otherwise, the documentary Rockenrolla covered this topic in regards to London.

1/3 of the size and 1/10 of the population.

CC, have you surveyed your workforce how they'd feel about the option to WFH?

That is utterly insane. Why would a naturopath be able to prescribe antibiotics?

What the hell is going on in Alberta? How can you elect these kinds of clowns?

Alberta government is meeting with naturopaths to consider wider role in primary health care.  In particular they want to be able to prescribe some drugs.

This of course seems like something right up Danielle Smith's alley.  She was supportive of ivermectin as a Covid treatment for example.

So I'm pretty opposed to Naturopaths - they mostly provide a whole series of quack treatments with no scientific background.

But I mean I could see some slight benefit from being able to go to a naturopath much more quickly in order to get a prescription for, I dunno, antibiotics or a topical cream or something.

But what I would fear is naturoapths handing out prescriptions for the next ivermectin with no basis to do so.

Our Project Manager could (and has) definitely work from home. His role is basically one conf. call after another, with many if not most of the attendees being in Germany, Slovakia, etc. The only moments where he needs to be at the plant are the launch milestones.

Which reminds me of one benefit of being at the office (or technically not at home): One of our senior C-Levels was presenting when he had what seemed like a stroke/seizure. Thankfully one of the other attendees lives nearby and the emergency services got there in time. But had he been just working alone at home instead of presenting ...

I am happy the Canadian legal profession is still paper-based and you and your guys can still shuffle paper files around in your briefcases the whole day, but the rest of the world moved to digital. Even during meetings you are often staring into screens or at the very least one big screen. Old man.

I am sorry to make you unhappy then.  My practice is entirely digital and has been since 2020.  Sorry 

And I hate to break it to you, being digital does not mean you cannot also talk to people in person.
