A handful of things I loved lately...
1) Watched Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen on Netflix:
The only thing I am going to say about this series is that it takes place in the week leading up to a wedding and it is a thriller/horror. Anything further than this will give away too many clues due to the storyline turning on its head any type of trajectory you typically anticipate when watching a show/movie. The expected is unexpected, and vice versa.
Camila Morrone is phenomenal as the main character. Hoping to see a lot more of her in future roles. She exudes so much personality and emotion at a level of a much more seasoned actress.
I could have done with episodes six and seven (or I think they could have been shortened) - related to the toe (you'll know when you get there). While the show producers did circle back to why this was relevant to the plot, it just took it to a weird place and probably wasn't necessary.
Since I provided such sparse info, if you're looking to discuss your thoughts further, please leave a comment here on this post. Or, there are some really beefy Reddits already on this series, even though it was only just recently released.
2) Found this article by Inc interesting:
It talks about how employees are moving back to urban centers since the majority of companies are requiring part or full time attendance back in office. I can attest that remote job postings are few and far between. And, the ones that are relayed as partial (typically three days in office) seemingly have no flexibility. The article alludes to it currently being an employer driven market. With scare jobs, they are able to find qualified candidates that meet their requirements, without having to be open to fully remote candidates like myself. With potential for disruptions related to the Iran War and gas, I am curious if we will be back to a semi-covid situation where workers will need to be fully remote due to the price of gas, and car pool for any days they are required to be in office. I would anticipated the years ahead are going to necessitate remote work as a consequence of an endless stream of instabilities.
3) Started taking some free online courses:
In the past few years, there's been mention of numerous universities throughout the world offering free online classes. Every time I intend to look into it I forget, until someone mentions it again. Somewhat related to number two, I figure taking some classes would be a positive step to broaden my options for what comes next, either in a full-time job, my business, or just the challenges as a whole we might encounter in the next few decades. I'll write some longer pieces on this down the road. And, what classes/fields I'm diving into first. But, if this is something you're interested in, here are some links to get you started as well:
Once you click on a class, it actually ends up taking you to an external site called edX where the actual course material is housed. In addition to Harvard, you'll find additional universities and organizations have classes posted on edX as well.
The Open University (out of the UK)
Also, consider Youtube. There are a plethora of classes posted here as well, just a search away. If you're interested in writing a novel, consider watching full length classes that author, Brandon Sanderson, teaches at Brigham Young University.
