@NikkiMegaplaza Several years ago I decided that I wouldn't try to keep up with the latest tech. I make sure I'm aware and have a rudimentary understanding, but I'm not going to full-on learn something unless it's relevant to my job or it's super interesting. It's made things a lot better.

@kvlly I remember reading a newsletter recently about burnout.

Jokes aside, don't forget to take some time to relax.

Well, I'm glad RAGBRAI was last week where we only had 2 days of this weather.

[NWS Des Moines @NWSDesMoines]

Extreme heat continues across Iowa Monday with heat indices of 105°F to 115°F likely. Extreme Heat Warning/Heat Advisory will be in effect from Noon to 8pm on Monday.

Avoid prolonged exposure to the heat and drink plenty of water, even when not thirsty. #iawx

@qsnyder @NikkiMegaplaza We need to get you on some hills!

[Mike Williams @networknerdmike]

@qsnyder @NikkiMegaplaza I am so out of shape. I struggled for at least 40 of those miles. And I have 6 more days of RAGBRAI. It's going to be rough.
