I've been WFH full time since early covid, so WFH for sure. My commute wasn't even bad, my office is less than 10 minutes away.

I'm not a social person so there is no upside to going into the office for me. Everything to do with my job must be communicated by email so it's documented, so it's just a waste of time if someone wants to chat in person or on the phone about it.

Plus I don't have to wear pants.

The one downside is my dogs seem to have developed separation anxiety since I'm around all the time.

Only if I have a specific question, like is this tent better than that tent. But I don't log in and I haven't since Boost stopped working.

I do miss it sometimes, but time spent on my phone has gone way down and that can only be an improvement.

Wtf? That is super gross. I'm Canadian and I don't know anyone who would do it at the dinner table. I've seen my boss do it at his desk but he turns to face the corner next to his desk first.

Ime most people go to the washroom to do it, or at least make sure they're not near anyone else.

I love black tea, particularly Earl Grey. I find it very comforting, like a warm hug. Starting in fall I drink several cups a day. During the summer I make iced tea.

Green tea shouldn't really be strong, you're probably steeping it too long. I drink green tea if I'm after something light (or if I'm out of milk, which I need for black tea).

This is why I don't like watching anything with my friends. My husband and I like to pause the movie/show every so often and theorise. When we talk it through we can usually figure it out, and that's obviously not fun for anyone else.

Rice with sunny side up eggs and soy sauce. Pop those yolks, mix, mmmmm.

This was my parents' idgaf meal, and as a kid I loved it both because I didn't get it often, and because it had no veggies.

I love you.

No licking!

Baths are not the enemy.

Stop acting like you're dying when I trim your nails, it's for your own good.

There is nothing to be scared of.

You should try to make dog friends at the park instead of just finding the nearest human who will pet you.

You can have that piece of cheese, I promise there isn't a pill hidden in it this time.

You don't own the sidewalk or the park across the street, it's none of your business if there are other dogs there.

You are the cutest floof in the world, I love you so much.

He carries all his books in the bags under his eyes.

I prefer not to touch strangers so I don't shake hands if I can get away with it. Most people are content with a smile and wave, especially since covid. I apply this to everyone, but for context I am a woman.

Piercings and tattoos. Gaming. Not wanting kids.

I don't look very alternative so all these things surprise people if it comes up in casual conversation.

...yes, and? I don't want to work on site. My WFH schedule is flexible enough that I don't need an “extra day free”. I don't think it's worth it. Working fewer days isn't always better for everyone.

How many times I've been right when my husband and I have differing recollections of something.

Red Dead Redemption 2. Everyone seems to love this game but I'm still on the fence about it. I feel like I'm spending so much time hunting to not be underweight that I'm not really playing the game. The controls are weird to me and I'm not sure why.

I went in the other direction and have a super king duvet for a king bed. Highly recommend going a size up.

I hated Christmas when I worked in retail, and for several years after. I've only gotten back into it the past few years, and now my husband has gotten sentimental and wants to put up meaningful ornaments instead of just nice looking ones.

My family didn't have a tradition of gifting ornaments every year so I've been building up a collection of personal ornaments the past few years to catch up with him, which is a cute and fun thing to do as a couple.

I'm sorry I don't know how to help. Personally nothing beats the cosy feeling of hot chocolate in front of a fire, cuddling watching TV, basking in the glow of a lit tree. It feels like Christmas to me and I love it.

Yeah my Catholic school allowed everyone to have whatever hairstyle they wanted. Hair dye, piercings, and tattoos were also allowed. Actually, not sure about the tattoos but I definitely had friends who had them and they weren't expelled or anything.

I'm the same about Ariana Grande. Not a fan, but I saw clips of her singing showtunes with Seth MacFarlane and it was incredible. She has such range and while I'm not really familiar with her music, I feel like her popular songs don't do her any favours.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean, do you want non magical people to attend a magical school?

Explain the ones that are lined with fleece on the inside.

I like some of it. What I really like is that there isn't a specific trend that's most popular. There seems to be a broad variety of styles that are popular and everyone can just do their own thing.

I just can't get on board with wide leg pants but I'm happy to ditch the skinnies for a boot cut or flare.

Depends what kind of toilet or doorknob. My company definitely sells some handle sets that are monumentally more expensive than the very affordable toilets I got from Costco.

Hogwarts is not elite. Anyone can enrol if they have magical ability. It's addressed in a later book that attendance is not mandatory but nearly every witch and wizard in Britain is educated there. It's just a school that doesn't even have an admittance exam.

I'm late for golf!

I don't have a lot of the issues I see others complaining about, but my teams does randomly shut down and I don't notice until someone sends me an email saying they tried to reach me on teams. Doesn't seem like that has anything to do with corporate policy.
