    Yep, I really wished companies embraced the fact that people have different preferences and commute. I live in California and spend about 2 hours a day going to and from the office just to sit at my desk trying to block out of the noise generated from an open office.

    Meanwhile, some of my coworkers really don't mind and come into the office because they live 5 minutes away from the office and I wish companies embraced letting both happen.

    I think Concordia is mostly interesting when there are more people and I find the team aspect in Venus more interesting. It adds another dynamic into the game trying to align with your partner and in a 2v2 or 2v2v2 situation you will have competition between cities quite quickly.

    +1 for Tomoe River notebooks, especially for fountain pens. Interested to see how the new paper changes will affect the feel as it starts going out next year
