Another RTO mandate in the news. It's a shame really but I look forward to meeting my future new coworkers... virtually. Maybe in person at a quarterly someday. I produce in a day WFH what takes 2 1/2 in the office it's silly.
Time together should be meaningful not mandated.
Hello internet sleuths. I pulled this bottle of Jose Luis Canosa vanilla off the top shelf of a pantry when my grandma's house was cleaned out. Everyone always asks how old it is. I have no idea. I'd be interested if there is any way to date it. I've had it 25 years.
