  • I just say ‘sorry, it’s been a long day, I’m socially exhausted, see y’all tomorrow morning.’ And it 100% shows on my face.

    But that works because it’s an engineering team and introversion is fine and understood. We’ve definitely had feedback from some engineers that a full 8 hours of group work, and then dinner, and some social event after that is too much. Managers have learned since to just cut some meetings and make the social events part of the normal work hours.

    This probably doesn’t work as well for the departments full of people who like to talk a lot.



    • Katana - quiet, and meant as a weapon against humans
    • Night vision goggles - can take advantage of the cover of night
    • Water purifier - greatly simplifies one human necessity
    • Body armor - will put it on whenever there’s a risk

    None of these are common household items, whereas some of the items on the list are, and thus, scavenged easily enough.
