For Those That Work From Home
Today's email contains news, numbers, and opinions that I co-wrote with your cat.

42 — the number of parking tickets Douglas Adams accumulated before writing the seminal Hitchhiking For Dummies.
Personal Development
Parents have long warned children about the dangers of world around them, like accepting candy from strangers, taking illicit drugs, and people with a first name as their last name: like Craig David.
But those with a last name as their first name should be sought after, and early education needs to support this.
Take Harrison Ford, for example. Even if the names is a bit mad, you’d want to know him, especially after he’d done Raiders of The Lost Ark.
Ke Huy Quan understood this and was only 3 months old when he met Ford at a cocktail party.
Through smart networking and developing relationships at an early age, Ke Huy Quan was able co-star alongside Ford, and then level up to Oscar winner in adult life.
All this through a relationship with a man with a last name as his first.

So follow in the footsteps on Ke Huy Quan’s parents and teach your child the benefits of cozying up to those with a last name as their first: like Taylor Swift, Peyton Manning, or even Morgan Stanley, who is a business and not a person, but still.
Business
Researchers have found that forcing employees to return to the office has pushed senior ones to leave for competitors.
This is bad news for businesses that rely on smarty-pant types, like Apple, Microsoft, and Dunder Mifflin.
However businesses that only require personnel with a pulse and paperwork remain unaffected, like Goldman Sachs for example.
But out of this trend has emerged a strategy that provides a win-win for all parties: bringing home to the workplace.
Google is now building individual ‘pods’ that recreate the exact spots in their homes where key employees prefer to work, be it the kitchen table or the toilet.
Google designed a pod for a senior engineer who prefers to work out of the shitter.
And no expense has been spared to retain key employees.
Fanny Peck has been with Google since the 1930s as Senior Engineer for Search and appreciates the middle-ground her employer has offered.
“My work often causes me to shit like a horse after a plate of porridge, so this set-up really works for me,” shared Peck.
Other colleagues offer the same sentiment, which looks to be a sign that the battle to return to the office may well end in a happy compromise.
