Two more off days for the kids and teachers before thanksgiving holidays. Please note I still have 2 vacation days to cover it (also I WFH full time since March 2020 pandemic shutdown). Btw, I heard mental health break is getting popular among school districts (public schools), so there is peer pressure there. || The other day I heard from a podcast in which the author asked a bunch of billionaires (or millionaires, rich people, also with kids grown up): what’s your biggest regret? The answer is they wish they have spent more time with their kids when the kids were young. I can feel that: I think Sophia will let me hold her like a baby for at most one year or two. I enjoy every minute I spend with my kids: even if / when they consistently asks me “daddy, when will Roblox be back?” (the answer is I don’t know, as daddy don’t work for them…[捂脸])

Although my boss and colleague didn’t say explicitly, it’s quite apparent to me, that the former colleague took his own life. This is the charity the family suggest donation in lieu of flowers. I googled “PTSD for veterans”, and this resource website by va.gov pops
