Screenshot of a Meetup description that says: 
What we’re about
Become a Yeomen.
Fit and Free

Independent and sovereign this class of free folk, skilled in both growing and killing served as reliable, heavily armed militia, fighting on the battlefield to defend their communities and their land. Perhaps their blood runs through your veins?

Get that blood pumping again and breathe sweat and bleed with a modern company company of Yeomen.

Maintain physical fitness through regular group drilling.
Practice free form martial arts at your own pace and without pointless structures, the responsibility is yours.
Each class is taken by a different teacher so expect to learn something new each time..

Am I the only one who is freaked out by this?

I'm often asked if I'm Irish. Still wondering why, but I've stopped being surprised about it.

Except today, it was an Irish person asking.

I've had the same happen to me, but in the UK. Phone didn't ring, and there were no missed calls. They still blamed me. Shouldn't happen anywhere.

I hope you have supportive people around you, and that you get the care you need. ASAP.

Have you considered that my Gmail account stays with me longer than any company email?

- Or that I ignore anything in my company inbox that isn't essential to the work I do for the company?

"If you work in a fear-driven organization that is low on trust, your performance will necessarily suffer. It’s a neurological fact. But if you work in a group that is high on trust and low on fear, then you can achieve at your best."

Me: "My phone will be off for a month while I'm abroad. Can we do a video appointment instead?"

I admit it!!!

I'm a hyphen offender - as you can see all over my social media...

Don't worry, I *can* colour inside the lines when required.

Small wooden figures shaped as horses  and painted like the Danish flag and the text "Danmark" on it. From the distance, their shape looks rather similar to the Swedish Dala horses.

Just... no.

I wasn't ready for Christmas stuff, but this Christmas-tree-themed flødebolle won me over.

And in reality it's a waste of company resources. If people don't feel supported, it drains them and affects their performance.

Surprised anyone?

Fascism works by identifying an out-group (Jews, blacks, Muslims, trans, gays, gypsies, migrants, refugees, disabled - it doesn't matter) and then blaming them for everything. That justifies sanctions against the out-group, and then against others.

Don't be a fascist.

How many people does it take to get your delivery from an Amazon locker??

Well, there's me. Not tall enough.
Another lady. Also not tall enough.
Third lady. Same.
Then one with an umbrella.

The winners: A duo, one on the shoulders of the other!

Thanks for the help, kind and creative strangers!

I just saw a post on a different platform on how internal communications can't make your workplace any better. So true!

It's all about what actually happens, not what is communicated about what the company wants to (believe they) do.

Nothing wrong with a phone queue.

But don't let me wait 20+ minutes for your systems to just disconnect the call!

London too.

Bigger fish to fry though, here cycling is ALWAYS dangerous.

I miss cycling - not for sport or fun, but for safe and reliable transportation!

If the platform is open now, what are the invite codes for?

Are they there solely because they haven't been taken out yet, or is it still easier to join with a code?

I never have days like that.

I have a good SAD lamp already...

And immediately I want an edit feature. For a different reason, of course.

I didn't know there was a feature like that. Great to be reminded of I forget. Why isn't it on by default?

Unpopular opinion: Working from home isn't a benefit.

Regards, those who uprooted their life and moved to an overpriced big city shoebox to be where the jobs are.

Yeah, me too. I did consider getting different Google accounts for different search purposes, but I'd need too many temporary accounts 😅

Wow that's bad!

I must admit that in some of my early talks, I have given due credit in my slides, but in a way that's too easy to miss. Now I make sure to call it out more explicitly.

Giving others credit where credit is due makes your own work stronger.
