So: there's a thing called autohotkey, map a secondary key to stealth (I'm using b) and then assign an autohotkey script to that key to toggle stealth so you don't have to loving hold left shift or whatever all the drat time. Oh my god it's such a gameplay improvement.

I use my PS4 controller to play on my PC and it works perfectly fine, so I don't know what the deal is

Yeah both of my cats love that bed. That's the bed they used to share when they were kittens and would sleep together. My other cat Loki also likes to steal his dog brother's bed.

we got one of these https://www.amazon.com/Kitty-Shack-Tube-Cat-Accessories/dp/B00ZP6HS6S and it's fur lined and has some kind of space blanket insulation and the cat can spend all day in it. i dont think thats the exact one because ours has more of a lambswool texture than fur

My wife works from home full time and loves it, so I guess I’m the odd one out in that I see it as an absolute need for me to go to the office. It’s not that I enjoy the commute or anything, but my attention span drops to about 11 seconds at home, and my work ethic is even worse, I don’t think I’d make it through the first day before deciding to blow off work and play Xbox instead.

You work with a foster agency don't you? So your job kind of requires 1-on-1 interaction, doesn't it?


Also you'd 100% be productive because the alternative is you get fired.

going into the office is a weird requirement when tech dipshits love having office keggers and open plan hotdesks or whatever but i 'm of the belief that it's good to have a separate work space to go in and concentrate. i dont have a job though so it's all theoretical right now

Having a separate work space or setting up things in a way when you get ready that mentally signals 'this is where I work, now it's time to work' can be helpful I've heard. I kinda never had much of a problem turning it on and off personally. A screen full of database crap is a screen full of database crap wherever you are to me.

e: Oops I read this wrong, you're saying being home would be more conducive to getting stuff done. Ignore me.

no you read it right the first time, it's like going to the library to study or whatever. and it can be hard to get a office set up in a regular 1 bedroom apartment if you want the mental benefit and maybe the tax ones if you do contract work

Yeah, safety assessments, home visits, treatment team meetings, and that sort of thing are a necessity, but at least half my time is spent on paperwork, emails, or conference calls. This year the state finally issued smartphones and laptops though, so I should probably count my blessings we’ve at least caught up to the 21st century.

I'm actually more productive at home because I can cuddle with my dogge when I'm stressed or watch a couple minutes of TV instead of slipping out for a smoke break every hour. I also dicked around on my phone a lot more in the office. It's harder to waste time on the forums when I have my Macbook open!

I've been working at home fulltime for years. I've found it's a mixed bag and some people really do well working from home while others don't. In my case I post all day on SA but I still get work done and meet objectives etc. Definitely having the Internet is a big distraction, but I was like that when I was working from work too so that's not actually due to working from home. Meanwhile not commuting and not paying for a prepared lunch every single day saves a lot of money.

It is still important to get face to face with people from time to time. I've repeatedly found that interacting with someone I've never met is less effective than someone I've met, even if only once. They're more likely to respond to my emails, send me things I need, etc. It's an instinctive thing I'm sure, something about being a social animal or whatever. So I still will go meet people from time to time, and my former boss would even have me fly out to our mexico or montreal office every couple years to meet people I hadn't met before, because she also understands how this works.

But I've had co-workers who cannot get work done at home, period. Having kids is a big part of that, especially younger kids. Another part of this that makes it work for me is my wife is very clear that I'm not home during the day to do chores, we still split the housework and it happens off-hours, not while I'm working. She's never had a problem with that which is great, it's important for your spouse or partner to not just agree to that in principle, but to totally "get it" in practice.

In my case my co-workers are mostly not at my local office so going in on most days would just be a total waste.
