Remote work enables working when you're not 100% well. In some ways, it's a good thing (work doesn't pile up), but on the other hand, it normalizes working when sick.
My experience in the UK and Czech Republic was that you're expected to come in sick, and any longer absences are considered as a nuisance to your team. A long time ago, I even resigned after my Czech boss made me feel guilty for being sick for a week. In England, I was literally begging my colleague to go home when she almost fainted at work.
But I know, we're completely spoiled up here🤐 when it comes to working life. Don't mind that 😄
So, it is a day 4 at home with this little cutie pie and a cold 🤧

I don't remember having a proper cold for a while! Lying on the sofa makes me remember how in the Czech Republic all pharmacies had an entire section for different kinds of tea for remedy. They have it all: tea for heartburn, sore throat, hemorrhoids, muscle pain, headache, chesty cough... just name your symptoms, and they have the right tea.
Here in Finland, we have an old saying: "If sauna, tar, or vodka won't help, you'll die to it." I do think that sauna can really heal a lot of muscle ache and even a cold if you time it right (just before it hits you hard).
I don't think I'll never get over that my American husband thinks coke makes stomach bug go away... 😄
Do you believe or use some local traditional remedies for some sickness?

Do you think it’s appropriate to give foreign #children on the street #gifts when you #travel? If so #why?
Re: A Facebook comment I just made:
I never give junk to children I don’t know. It’s not culturally appropriate in the US where I live. If I did it here people would want to beat me up, would post my photo on the internet and come after me. Thus I don’t feel it’s appropriate elsewhere.

"I'm a father of three and loving husband"
Yeah, yeah, let's talk about the things you actually acquired certification for before doing them.
"I'm a father of three and loving husband"
That's nice for you, but neither reproduction, nor marrying are things, we want you to perform as part of your position during work hours, as you can see in the job description.
"I'm a father of three and loving husband"
And what exactly does that say about you? I mean, what does that really say about you?
"I'm a father of three and loving husband"
And that qualifies you to do what exactly?
When will you give me the relevant information?

Ever wondered what the Swedish view of the Danish was like? Here's a pic from a design agency I worked with in Malmö (many years ago) that gives a hint. #culturalDifferences

I did not reach the three obvious German tourists in time who looked confused in the busy Irish pub to tell them "No, really, the table is free". They left because they believed all the tables were booked/reserved. Es tut mir leid!
Booked tables in Ireland are always marked!

Risk tolerance: why some countries prefer more complex UIs (10min) very interesting analysis of how uncertainty avoidance can shape your design (using Amazon as an example). Also, good reminder: you can’t just copy/paste your designs from other platforms. They might serve different audiences.
