What are you doing with all your isolation downtime?
Hello all! Hope you and your loved ones - especially the elderly - are staying safe in Covid19
Where I live, just about every business is closed, and almost all of my friends/family are isolating as much as possible.
I was thinking it would be a great time to study up for my energy risk (ERP) exam in May...but that got cancelled too!
For the time being, what are you doing to pass the time and/or be productive?
I was thinking of trying to do some of those e-learning courses on Python or other programming languages. I've also pulled out the Xbox, and am trying to do some reading.
What about y'all?
I have a long reading list that I have started cracking.
Nice - anything in particular? I'd like some new reading content!
Some of the books may be too political to share publicly. PM me if you are still interested.
Pokemon Sword and Shield, Animal Crossing, too many games.
Do you mean before or after I search the internet for toilet paper?
Really honing in on data structure and algorithms (linked lists, binary search trees, sets, stacks, queues). Learning React, Node.js/ Express. Working on a web authentication platform.
I also take breaks and read books, I mix in good life books with technical textbooks.
Nice Nassim Taleb quote. His theories in Black Swan are now looking to be shockingly prescient, given all that's happened!
His books are really good. I put that quote up there almost a year ago. I listen to a lot from him and Naval
Do you mind sharing some of the good life books?
Breaking BUD/S is a good one, I’ve recommended it to several friends. Even if you have no interest in becoming a SEAL, it’s applicable when things suck. Man’s Search for Meaning is another one I’m slowly making progress on. Very good so far. Night by Eli Wiesel puts life into perspective and makes you realize just having food in the fridge is something to not take for granted.
I was going to study for GREs but it got canceled. So I'm making music.
Chilling with the fam, xbox, messing around on soundcloud and making mixes, visiting WSO
DJ D-sol ?
Nah, more like Rufus Du Sol
No down time for me. Army training does not stop for anything. They’re going down the herd immunity path; family members, older civilians on post, and at-risk soldiers be damned.
GTA, watching movies I wanted to watch, running outside, and jerking off
I work in public accounting so no down time.
Using the down time to hone our tech platform, streamline onboarding, squash bugs, code-overhaul, foster industry relationships, continue the fundraise, plan and prep strategy for PR/Marketing/Sales blitz post-COVID.
And getting tax docs in place, putting out fires with 3rd party service providers, curating/creating digital content, researching email campaign infrastructure/inbound tactics. building out prospect list, hiring interns, getting our sales training materials ready, probably missing something here.
In my little free time learning a little bit of Python, sometimes fire up CoD, and browse the web like right now,
Can you speak a little more to how you're handling internships right now? A lot of interns are worried SA programs will be cancelled, would love to get your insight
Am interested in knowing too
