Treat them how you would wish to be treated when you are old, forgetful, stubborn, deaf, and slower. Getting old can suck. It’s angering. It hurts. They are humans with emotions. Don’t forget that.
Each and every one of the creatures we descended from, stretching all the way back to the beginning of life on Earth, has survived by killing before being killed. We are the final product of a string of millions of killers.

Todo.txt plain text file. Use Vim. Date and todo statement. Sometimes more for explanations. I never delete anything in it; just make an X next to todo’s I’ve completed. File goes back many years. I can easily search for something I did a long time ago.
And then there’s MS OneNote for capturing howto’s, quick script one-liners, cheat sheets, diagrams, notes on various industry interfaces, etc.
Then there’s SCM for bug, feature, and track tasking.

If I have enough PTO saved up, I’ll take “mental health days”. It’s none of the employers business why you take it if they offer PTO accrual as a benefit. I just email my lead either the night before or in the morning saying “I’ll be out today”. Period. No more and no less. No excuses. No rational. I earned it; it’s mine; I’m using it, that’s it.
So I don’t have to be so sick that I can’t get out of bed. Or a fever. If I’m feeling under the weather and I have the time, I’ll take it. I do that instead of taking a solid 2 week vacation at one time during the year.
