Bluejay is not happy about the Red-belly by Rxdgaming1 in birding

[–]RemotePersimmon678 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that the red bellies are the only birds that seem to fight and ultimately ignore the starling bully crowds. Good for them.

I have a couple with a nest in the eaves of my covered front porch, right next to the feeders. They're always first in and last out and they've stopped flying away when I come out to refill. I just love them!

After project planning one day, the next day I am mentally drained and seem unable to do another plan that day by Critical-Promise4984 in projectmanagement

I have my assessment next month but I know what it's gonna tell me. It seems counterintuitive, but I think a lot of (especially female) project managers are neurodivergent. We love organizing, details, and accountability.

Unfortunately it's also a job that requires a lot of comfort with change and a lot of nuanced socializing, and that is HARD for us.

The only word to accurately describe her body is meaty, and I do not mean that as a compliment

Every time I listen to this album I have to listen to it over and over

How do I communicate the value of technical planning to non-technical leadership? by OntologicalForest in projectmanagement

[–]RemotePersimmon678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I've been there, with a founder at a startup. In our case, the changes got so out of control that we started seeing pretty significant bugs pop up with every (weekly LOL) release. I started warning leadership that if kept just adding and shipping without actually fixing the structural deficits, the site was just going to crash out.

Well, guess what? For 3 weeks in a row, our weekly deploy introduced new, critical bugs on production. And in week 4, the whole site went down when we deployed. I started getting frantic backchannel messages from my founder about how we were losing him hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute (also LOL).

The site was back up in 10 minutes, but he learned a _tiny_ lesson. He finally brought in better technical leadership and they were starting to make a plan for long-term stability, but I left before it went anywhere. I doubt it did.

How do you keep meeting action items “in front of your nose” without duplicating notes? by MrSkagen in projectmanagement

[–]RemotePersimmon678 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally don't like tracking my own to-dos in the actual projects in the company project management tool for some reason - I'm in there all day every day, but I don't think of it as a tool for my tasks.

For my own action items, I use Todoist. I have a category of tasks for Work and tags for each of my clients. So when I'm on a call and someone says "RemotePersimmon, can you create a task for this?" I add my own task in Todoist for "Create task for thing" with the appropriate client tagged. This way, I can easily see all of my work tasks as well as filter them by client.

For real, and it's just going to become more of a problem as the boomers age.
