Back in 2016 I worked at a place that had beer in the fridge for after work shindigs. The day after Trump was elected we were all in the kitchen drinking beer at 10AM instead of coffee. No one questioned it.
It’s adorable you all think this will be cleanly settled and over by Wednesday.
I took Tuesday and Wednesday off.
Aside from voting, I have some other things to do on Tuesday.
Wednesday is reserved for just sitting and staring. Perhaps some rocking back and forth and curling up in the fetal position. I’ll see how it goes.
Wednesday is dancing day
Thank you, that’s basically how I feel.
Also, the startup I’m at just had 2 co-founders leave, so yeah, this is a real vibe.
My old boss is looking and she’s a great CEO. what company?
Not founded yet, sent dm.

Oh shit, is your job safe?
Hah, no, but I’m good otherwise.
Talking to friends about starting one of my own ideas, reached an age where digging through the dirt is still fun, but I think I should be doing more.
Thanks for the concern :) , I rarely join startups because I think they have a chance to succeed, it’s just the only place you can get stuff done and have a good time, big companies are… Horrifying :( Google might have been the worst.
I need to get off my ass really.
Absolutely on the whole not being able to get stuff done front. The main reason I’m quitting where I currently work is because it’s impossible to do the most basic of tasks without having 40 meetings about it and it being delayed by 6 months for no apparent reason.

Similar, one issue for me is that I am not great at all the modern task-tracking systems, I can do them, but they take far more energy for me than the actual work itself.
And the more people I have to work with, the slower I work, I can just go by myself, but when I have to keep coordinating I just bog down and get discouraged.
Well that’s good to hear. Too many people get fucked over by startups too often.
Haha, those co-founders got fairly well screwed, but startups are a bit like a lottery ticket to me: huge risk, pretty decent potential reward.
The only difference is if you’re careful, you come out having learned things.
I just started a business after getting laid off from Deere, 10/10 can recommend.
Thanks, I am just so… silicon valley has a lot of used-car salesmen around, and I’m nervous about getting screwed over by a co-founder. Not good at the whole “don’t fuck with me” thing, either come off as a pushover or a psycho, never worked out the subtlety of a middle ground :(
What is your business doing?
Hunting
congrats you just started your own today. go boldly.
Thanks a lot for the support! I really need to get off my lazy ass.
Social… Anything is not my strong suit, but if I can find some guys who do that good, I should be set.
social media? like marketing/awareness? or are you talking about professional networking to find talent?
No, like… talking and dealing with people is not my strong suit, I’m a hardcore engineer to the point of autism :(
cool what kind of engineering do you do?
Who the hell is waiting till 10am?
May need it to start Wednesday and go through inauguration.
