Quarantine work !== Remote work. I’ve been working remotely with success for 13 years, and I’ve never been close to burn out. I’ve been working quarantined for over a month and I’m feeling a tinge if burn out for the first time in my life. Take care of yourself folks.

Hey @kickscondor not sure if you've seen but the cert for https://indieweb.xyz/ seems to have expired - "4/18/2020, 12:32:43 AM (British Summer Time)" according to the cert. May need a nudge to renew it!

Just had my easiest game of #ApexLegends just now, where most of the other squads lagged out, leaving just 3 including me left, and then I somehow won in the end because even though I was outside the ring, it looks like the other played disconnected first 😂
It's 1700 and Anna Dodson and I are only just eating an Easter egg. We've definitely done something wrong 🤔
