For those who have a full time job (8 hours a day), how do you have purpose in life if you work 8 hours, sit in traffic for 2 hours, have a rushed lunch for 1 hour and prepare dinner/lunch for 1-2 hours? That’s 12 hours a day gone because of work!

Possible problems with WFH?

Hey I don’t mind wfh, but I think there are problems associated with it. People working for relatively low wages are being priced out of more desirable remote areas, places like: small towns adjacent to national forests, small coastal towns, national park gateway towns. Homes get bought up for way more than a local employee, one who can’t work from home, can afford. They are depriving affordable housing for hard working low income workers on what I believe is a large scale. I only have anecdotal evidence. How does the WFH crowd address this?

Have we stopped valuing experience at work ?

I ask because i regularly get passed up when i offer to work on new projects i have many years of experience in . Seems like they just want to learn from their own mistakes. SO what am i doing still working if no one values my experience ?

What do I drive??

Employment application is asking what car I drive, why is that remotely relevant? Job is in sales, nothing to do with needing a vehicle of any particular size etc

Strike Playlist

University of Washington research scientist and post-doc are on strike for a living wage. What are good songs for the picket line? I nominated Rhiana's “Bitch Better Have My Money.” Any other suggestions?
