Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years unless you give them your email address.
Alternatively, they will call you everyday for tech support and questions on internet slang.
Teach them how to use Netflix instead.
Laura, where would you move TO, if you sell your house?
Most likely south to Pompano Beach where we rented for a while and really enjoyed it. Closer to Brendon's mother and siblings, but further away from Bobby & family. They would (in theory) like us to move north closer to them, but I'm not leaning that way. Too far away from the rest of the family and my customers, and real cities. Also possible if we don't see anything right away is living on a boat in a marina for a while.
Toddson, I had this feedback, because in theatre, we were summarizing the discussions.
Here, they just want the information of the decision and the action item. Not even, a discussion was had on X subject. I have to stop and ask "For the minutes, can I clarify that the decision is X and the action items are Y".
(Look, we all have our dirty, little food secrets. Don't judge.)
Truer things!
I would never judge. Actually I should find something for lunch. Maybe healthy, maybe junk.
Unfortunately, my boss does not discuss this with me beforehand - I'm in the office, he's working from home - and I'm not allowed to talk during the calls.
Timelies all!
Congrats, meara!
I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning at 7.(Regular cleaning) Ugh, I'm going to have to get up at stupid o'clock.
Toddson, given the lack of clear feedback from your boss and the fact that you don't have deep familiarity with the topic, I suspect this is going to be an iterative process of you changing, boss saying "still not right," you changing, rinse and repeat.
I've found those go faster if I overcorrect, so in this case I would drop down to who was there, high-level version of the topics covered, action items, who has them, and when they are due. Nothing else. Shoot for half a page.
it shouldn't take the same type of process as getting a recently released Xbox.
I was joking that I was going to repurpose the bots that buy up the graphics cards and consoles and rent them out for vaccine appointments...then I realized someone is probably already doing that.

Well, that's bullshit. Can't you set up a 1/1 with your boss before the meeting? Where you're located should have no impact on that.
If you're not already doing this, take notes in the agenda so you make sure you hit all the items and just listen for action items.
I am having leftover bacon-wrapped pork loin for lunch. I would say this makes me a grown-up, but I am following it up with crackers and TJ's horseradish pub cheese.
