Before, I was a train wreck that ate too many cinnamon rolls and watched Netflix while laying in sweats on the couch.

The concept of a four-day workweek is not a new one, but it's gained traction amid the pandemic as companies have been required to adapt.

Officials hope less time at the office will make workers healthier and more productive.

Really, it should’ve been a wonderful weekend. An old friend was in from out of town and a group of us got together to drink margaritas, eat burritos, and catch up. And then it started: I told a long, plotless “story” that was mostly just a character assassination of a mutual acquaintance of ours whom I’d never really liked.

I saw the future of work in a San Francisco garage two years ago. Or rather, I was in proximity to the future of work, but happened to be looking the other direction.
