Happy Wednesday!
January 20th this year is Inauguration Day. BUT…it is also National Cheese Lover’s Day and National Penguin Day. Celebrate in whatever way seems right to you!
Yesterday I wrote about smart home devices and home automation. Today, I’m giving a {very official} award for most creative use of a smart device, a WFH yes/no light! The award goes to one of our team members, Cris.
Cris has young kids at home just like Craig and I do. As is common now days, the kids (and dogs, cats, wives, husbands and other familial wildlife) occasionally make an appearance on video calls. My little blond haired munchkin showed up in a chat recently, and Cris shared this pro-parenting tip: he bought a color-changing LED smart light and set it up outside his home office door. Red means do not knock or enter unless you’re bleeding and no one else can help, and green means I’m working but you can knock or say hello. I thought this was a pretty creative use of a smart home device, also very apropos to our current WFH culture.
Now If you try this hack and it doesn’t work, or if you simply must fight with your family, specifically your spouse, maybe you can do it “Fighting with Compliments” style. (I’ve watched this multiple times for the laughs!)
Hope you guys have a great Hump Day!
Christin
