Work

Its not often that I get to talk about what I do. But luckily for me, this is one of those times. The team that I run is a team of tooling and systems engineers. What do we do, we work on future tooling and hardware platforms for our Site Operations teams at Meta. Its a challenging and rewarding space and I don’t say that sarcastically. Though at times, some of the problems we are trying to solve are quite simply, silly to even attempt. Yet we do, and are often very successful.

This is one of my biggest frustrations at work. I tend to get more done when I have the headphones on, email closed, IM on do not disturb, and no meetings scheduled. This is done the easiest at home.

One step we can take to help our fellow co-workers out is, don’t IM them, email. You can safely ignore email for a while. IM should be reserved for ‘I need your attention right now!’
