Just as the boys are in camp outside playing tennis and soccer it of course starts to pour down. At least all the new plants and trails gets some much needed water.
just about over this cold. Drank last night and feel like shit this morning, I wonder if there's a correlation... woke up at 5am with the shits and couldn't get back to sleep. yuck.
No meetings on my work calendar today. HOLY SHIT. One week until I return to the office. I've got eight people that report to me. Since HR is letting each department decide their own remote work arrangements, I told my staff they can do 2 days in the office and 3 days at home, until HR tells us otherwise. 100% remote is not allowed.
beers too.
Just landed in DEN. Slept nary a wink, as per usual. Caught up on some movies I've been meaning to watch for a while though, so that was nice. I need to watch Arrival again.
Woke up at 5:45AM to ride with the next door buddy. It was 80F/80% at 6:30, I am not built for this BS. FTS 
A lot of my coworkers are pissed as the company told everyone hybrid work schedule will be offered then their managers demanded 100% in person.
Probably will not matter, Covid cases seem to be on the rise again.
Everybody said I should not go full enduro, but I did anyway. 
Thanks @marshalolson !!!! 
Of course, the Danish postal service did asked for a approx. $25 brokerage fee to get the package through customs, which did not charge customs but just VAT.
As @CBJ already mentioned, it is now pouring rain here, so no chance to test it out.
I guess these are my sentences for going full enduro.

Hot AF out there. Going to avoid doing much outside today, other than maybe running a few errands.
Nothing improves employee morale quite like asking everyone for their thoughts, then willfully ignoring the response and doing what you wanted to anyway. That's got management written all over it.
Very unpleasant heat today, think I need to work till noon and go home, come in Saturday when it's 20deg cooler and make up for lost time.....
Cut the lawn at 10pm last night to avoid heat stroke/exhaustion issues..
It's +29*C (84*F) INSIDE the shop currently with no way to cool it.....

Dark gloomy and chilly morning, which is to say perfect.

Managers around here only know how to strictly enforce pointless administrative rules and largely ignore "work" that needs to get done. So of course they will default to pointless administrative rules and ignore how it may affect what actually gets done.
I am dealing with a serious Zoom fatigue, thanks to the job in an Indian-based company I had a year ago, I have a pre-covid headstart in the zoom hell. Can we just turn the effing cameras off for a week or two? 
Our work Teams meetings are, for the most part, camera-less affairs. Which is good, 'cause I'm generally in my robe until early afternoon.I am dealing with a serious Zoom fatigue, thanks to the job in an Indian-based company I had a year ago, I have a pre-covid headstart in the zoom hell.

Zoom fatigue is real. My thursdays are mostly meetings so some days I am in the chair for 6 hours. I have a couple of interviews coming up, including one that is a 10-3 zoom torturefest.
pretty fancy riding over at leturr. Not sure anybody is watching it, but a hell of an effort by MVdP

Dead deer on the way into the office, and raining, where the shit am I?

We are camera-less for 'security' reasons. My dirtbag ways have become even dirtbaggier over the last 18 months.
Next meeting some manager requests cameras, I'm going to use this.
Pikes Perk is pretty okay, by airport standards. I still make my own, most days.
We have the policy that we should have our cameras on as looking into a black screen is annoying a lot of folks. If you have meetings in person you can also see everybody, so why not do this on Zoom as well? If you are afraid people check out what you have in your home then find a spot with neutral background or set up a background picture.

My laptop is connected to a full mouse, keyboard and monitor. If I turned the camera on it would be pointing at the wall and I wouldn't even be in frame.
Plus I'm either in a bathrobe or old bike t-shirt

There are typically no mirrors in meeting rooms forcing me to see myself. Also, blank screens irritate people? How did they survive in the age of phone calls??

Canada Day tomorrow - but my work is opting to give Friday off instead.
So I booked tomorrow off to give a nice four day weekend. BUT, the bossman caught on that I submitted the vacation request for tomorrow, which the system sees as a holiday and therefore didn't subtract a day from my holidays. Dammmmit, oh well, it was worth a try to try and swindle an extra day of vacation.
note to self - remember to buy beer tonight.

I wish I could take ownership of this one...
Yes, I find it also irritating. If I want to have a conversation with someone, it is kind of nice to see that person. And yes, I hate phone calls, especially conference phone calls.
stocked up on beers, but I may wind up participating in the #cancelcanadaday march instead... I'm not keen on the name of the event, but understand the sentiment and want to show support... so will swallow my distaste (pride?) and go along with it.Canada Day tomorrow - but my work is opting to give Friday off instead.
