I agree totally with your point about learning to rest. I am a startup founder, do way too many hours, plus family life, social, volunteering etc. The funny thing I am just back from a two day break (viewing universities with my daughter) and that hard stop caused me to get some virus, it always happens. Work so hard to the point you need to stop, stop, get ill. I can't be the only one.
Aside from that, it's hard for people lots of people to know when to rest when you have this moronic grind culture buzzing in the background. I despise this crush it, work more, do more things attitude in the start up / tech scene. I would have hoped with a better understanding of peoples mental health this would have vanished by now.
Ah super. thank you for your reply. We have the Adobe creative suite here so I think I'll go on a crash refresh course. I'll also take a look at PenPot!
I used to actually work in radar on the Isle of Wight, lots of people think of it as simply a place for tourists and old people. However, at least to recently, its the home of a lot of the worlds greatest radar and antenna designers. Sadly its all in decline now.
Agreed, its a good place to explore! I live on the Isle of Wight, its full of interesting historical places. I'd like to discover the Nuclear bunker but yet to find it!
Thats quite fascinating to watch, however I'm not sure if I missed it but I didn't see the tower being earthed. Those installers must have some impressive protection in place.
I used to be a volunteer on an emergency lifeboat crew, we would do a lot of drills with a man on a winch and the first rule is, don't touch until he's earthed. Helicopters pick up a hell of a lot of static electricity so you normally see a small earthing line hanging below the man on the end of the line.
One time we were practicing fast recovery, the boat and the helicopter doing crew exchange at high speed. We screwed it up and the static charge blew a hole in the side of the boat!
