@matigo Pretty much.
Written communication is a huge weakness amongst many of the senior people in this team. They claim calls are easier than emails; from my perspective, though, that's likely only because their meandering, verbose, half-finished thoughts don't present as badly on a call as in an email.
I even get audio messages on Teams, which I make it a point to take my sweet time to react to because I don't want to encourage such nonsense.
A 40 minute meeting in which the pre-meeting email was basically just read out. No one had anything to debate and the meeting concluded exactly as the email concluded. Therefore the meeting was entirely pointless.
This is why some people are so busy all the time.
@matigo I think it was the Deathly Hallows that I finished in an evening after dinner. Too long ago to be sure though.
It's been quite a while since I last read an entire novel in one sitting. The last time I can definitively remember is either the last or penultimate Harry Potter book.
@matigo I find myself missing the academic environment sometimes. Better energy and curiosity.

@matigo Would this shadow randomly alternate between flipping the bird, smiling mockingly/cackling, and waving encouragingly to give you extra motivation?
I was so sure last night there was a Flying Thing in the apartment last night, but after a 3 day wedding party was too tired to investigate.
Found it in my pre-coffee state just now: probably a flying ant.
I don't like summers here.
@matigo With uMatrix discontinued, I've been spending a lot of time getting intimately familiar with uBlock Origin's (pretty incredible) capabilities.
@variablepulserate I'm sure it won't be that bad. Wouldn't mind looking at property around Manchester.
@variablepulserate Well that's my secondary reason for leaving: I'm basically guaranteed a UK visa and if I can survive for 6 years (with or without a job) then I can apply for a passport.
