My understanding is that some European countries have laws standardizing bra size.

A game that I've never seen mentioned online but I played the shit out of is Metal Fatigue. RTS game with huge robots. Fucking dope

But could they still have sex with each other?

Took 2 years of Polish at University. I spent more time on that one class than all my other classes combined... And I went to school for Education.

Oh wait, they removed that? I had no idea because I stopped using Ubuntu when they put ads in the dash.

Comfortably numb in my ass

Not church per se, but my uncle blew his brains out. At the wake, the priest turned his little speech into how evil abortion is. Yes, let's talk about killing babies... Anything not to tell about the dude who killed himself.

Man, I taught English for 6 years... It was year 6 when I found out there were teacher guides.

I had spent the whole time actually making curriculum. No wonder I burned out

I might just be dumb... But does this mean that in 6 months I just don't have an email there anymore? I didn't see any kind of messaging about transitioning services, just like, 'grab what you can and GTFO.'

Mines not so interesting, but I do have an original N64 from launch. I wish I had picked up the gold plated Zelda console, but I instead grabbed the regular grey one that came with Mario...I had never played a Zelda game before and regret the decision today.

If I'm going even older, it would probably be the planer that my father made about 50 years ago. Still works amazingly for being all cherry.

One time I kept a guy on the phone for about ten minutes just playing dumb. Then he's like, sir, what version of Windows do you have?"

I say, I'm not sure but it's the one with the little penguin icon.

We actually had a good laugh about it together

To speak to your points, I started with about 1 year ago in a new career in IT. We initially were coming in one day a week and this has moved to two days.

First, when we moved to two days, I have it about 6 weeks, then started crunching numbers. By the sole metric of closing tickets... My team as a whole is more productive in the office. I didn't break down exactly who was more of less productive, but I have my ideas. I'm willing to bet that I work better at home, but it's a moot point as the team is better on site.

As far as learning new skills, even at one day a week, I've caught up to the rest of my team and have surpassed them technically. Again, it's IT and I've always had a strong interest, whereas I see some of the team probably view it as "just work" I'm actually enjoying the work. Again, it's a second career so maybe maturity is in play here too, but even the younger guys who were hired after me are growing very quickly.

You're absolutely right about networking. I felt so isolated when I started. It wasn't until I learned a few people a few steps above where I was that I learned who is a good resource, and who I can trust. Once I got my head around that, I think people actually see the work in doing and redirect me for it. If I were 100% wfh I don't think I would be having as good a time.

Just my experience
