I figure there are a lot of guys with way more money than me that are still bald! Never figured it was worth it looking for a magic potion! I just embrace the bare dome. Like I said earlier, at least I have the head for it! [Reply]

This. We went to full-time Telework about four years ago because, well, all of my people take care of networks in large geographic areas. It wasn't well received at first, some facilities didn't like that they couldn't just walk by one of my engineer's office and either chit-chat with them or ask them to help with 'stuff' that's not really what their pay-grade should be doing (something I've termed a "drive-by"). However, in time, we've come to understand that it's best to keep the engineers engineering, PC folks working on PCs, and the local facility people running cable. Once the facility regained the footprint that was taken up by staff that weren't dedicated to them anymore anyway, because they were pretty-much all Teleworking, they embraced it even though the local IT leadership missed being able to do drive-bys.
So I agree, it's going to take an old fogie, a luddite of sorts, to say teleworking shouldn't be continued, at least at some level... [Reply]
I have not cut my hair yet, but it's due. Asked the wife if she would do it...she's not thrilled. Years ago I went with a no guard buzzed head, and besides the fact that I found myself sweating from my head profusely, I also looked like a nazi. So I grew it back.
Not sure how long I'll be able to stand it before I do something...drastic... [Reply]
I have worked 13 of the last 14 days with one more to go. This morning during my commute traffic seemed considerably heavier than anytime in the last 3 or 4 weeks. Of course it is no where near the normal.
I am wondering if people are starting to return to work regardless of the situation. Has anybody else noticed any change in behavior over the last couple weeks? [Reply]
You want to do a field test on your man skills and ability to adapt and overcome?
Go 300 miles from home, have a break down and spend a couple of days stuck in the mud in the middle of nowhere, when pretty much everything is closed.
Also...if nothing else comes out of this, I hope there is a rebellion by parents so that schools start teaching kids to actually do math in a way we can do it. So F'ing stupid how these kids are taught to do shit that simple facts and formulas will solve. [Reply]
So far I have managed to not gain too much weight, but I think I may have developed an online poker addiction, other than that I am bored silly , my patience for my wife and kids gets thinner by the day and my hair gets uglier .
I decided to bye a hair clipper and give a go , any tips cutting your own hair so that is doesn't look like I cut my own hair. [Reply]

First you shave a strip down the center of your head. [Reply]
