"Life isn't fair" as the popular saying goes. And it does honestly have some merit. /1
Was the COVID-19 pandemic that uprooted all our lives fair?
Are record inflation and soaring food prices fair?
Is the fact that the so much wealth is controlled by so few, fair? /2

I am on strike from work.
It is my first time being on strike and my second day. I am one of over 100k public servants in Canada currently on the picket lines. Like seemingly everything in today's society, people have polarized opinions about this. /1
On one hand, you have the socially-minded labour supporting crowd. There is a "rally around workers" effect, often from other workers who realize they could be next or simply recognizing a big labour negotiation like this one will set the benchmark for them in the future. /2

Consent and the office: a weird thread of random thoughts.
So I have been in the office a few times over the past couple of weeks and I am always tired afterwards. There are clearly a lot of reasons for that, including additional travel, but I started asking myself why.
It should be noted that I am an extrovert and get energized by people. I really love to socialize but like it to be planned. When I run into folks in the office there are a lot of unforeseen encounters, some good and some not so good.

I went into the office today, almost two years post-COVID, to clear out my desk. I wasn't fired but we are going through a process now as the office will be transformed into a hybrid workspace. A thread with some thoughts.
I drove there. It isn't far from my house but just driving anywhere feels like an event right now. I had to tell my team I might be harder to reach as I didn't know about connectivity. The irony of being harder to reach because I was going to the office was not lost on me.
