A company I worked for went full on into a corporate workspace refresh to open concept during COVID. Writing was on the wall and they tried to recall people 3 months into COVID-which failed spectacularly. I found a remote job shortly after and while I do go in from time to time on my own account, I don't really miss traffic or open office plans.
You can make a generator.. so then stretch wires to a distance and put a motor on the end of it (similar to the generator). Basically blow their minds in that you could transfer power over distance without a mechanical coupling.
Cuts to scene of worker in a cubicle; camera pans from back of monitor facing the worker to behind the worker - where they are furiously jamming on the keyboard. The game Lunar Lander is shown on the screen.
The ebbs and flows of life continue. I guarantee you it's a lot of fun if you stick it out.
Are there depressing times ahead? Sure. Wouldn't give them up for the world.
If you haven't guessed, I'm a good bit older than 19.
I'm on the other side of that because my friends don't put in the time investment into the relationship. So I'm currently without any direct "close" friends.
It could be said that I'm doing three same thing by not investing time - and you'd be right. I found myself always scheduling get togethers and such, but when I stopped reaching out (it was exhausting) I didn't hear a peep.
Kinda done with people overall. I do have a good family framework, so I'm not totally in the dark-but I do miss closet relationships outside of that.
2016 model year is 8 years old + now...
Agreed. I'm the era before every car had a camera, I'd back into my driveway because foggy windows plus backing up sucks. I still back into my driveway even with all of the current day features on my vehicle - it's just less stress in the morning to pull forward.
Especially with the expansion of the open office.. Ugh. I've avoided it for most of my career and I hope to never go back to an official office unless it has a door on it.
Do a little at a time. For example, clean off one countertop. Don't even look at the others - just do the one in front of you. Before long it'll be done, and you might have the energy to take on just one more.
