5 uger hvor jeg var sรฅ imponeret over deres setup.

I'm so happy that they are together and in a family that sends us videos and images. It is very difficult to let them go, but at least they are together.

We miss them.

Agreed. I mostly don't care how we got to this stage - more "can we work together to improve it?"

And if you want my vote, I would like to know specific initiatives you would try to enact. What are you working on first?

Det er nok 10 รฅr siden at vi var vidne til et natligt indbrud i den lokale Brugs. Vi filmede gerningmรฆndene - til fare for os selv for de opdagede os og kastede fyldte รธldรฅser efter os.

Politiet kunne ikke finde ud af at modtage filen med filmen. Vi er it-folk, sรฅ vi kunne levere i alle formater.

I do have that flaw.

And the one where I keep believing in the best in people. Even upper management.

But that is vanity numbers. Upping hours in seat does not produce real quality productivity. At least, I don't believe so. My greatest work has been done after my brain has gotten a break. Usually away from keyboard.

Go for a walk, take a nap, take a vacation.

Absolutely. I can only hope the pendulum will swing in another direction soon. Newton's Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

It would be possible to hire (and keep) some really intelligent people by going the other way.

996 work culture is sad and inhumane. Whateverโ€™s wrong with 888 โ€“ or even 000? | Emma Beddington Silicon Valley is keen, once more, on a working pattern of 12-hour days, six days a week. It really is time for a new approach, says Emma Beddington

I believe in a balanced day with some work, some leisure and a lot of sleep. And vacation days!

996 is not helping anyone. Burnout and early death as well as just not living a good life. I like working but being creative requires taking time off to be inspired.

I also really appreciate people who can talk about "making things work" in every day life without having to put their signature on a new initiative. It should be a balance.

We need a mix of visionaries and maintainers.

It is really refreshing that someone has the guts to set up wishes for the future and not just critique the status quo. It reminds me on what I want to do more of. Be visionary. Communicate in ideas and what we want to see in the world. Not just politically but in everyday life.

We are coming up on a local election here in Denmark and I'm preparing to participate in a voter meeting about local culture and nature.

One candidate tells about his vision and appreciation for our local nature. I really like that rather than just listing top causes.

I want more visions!

I'm so happy fireworks are not allowed here in Denmark except for New Year's Eve and sellers are not allowed to sell it until a few days before.

I don't even have dogs, but I have seen what it does to dogs near me.

I find it a bit funny since our foster kitten named Ada moved out on Ada Lovelace Day. We have great timing.

My foster kittens and their mother moved out today. A family with two kids and one cat already took in all 3 of them as a forever home. I'm so happy they are all together and with a great family.

It is very quiet here now.
