Sabbaticals: Have Your Cake And Eat It Too

I love the saying "Have your cake and eat it too" but in this case it's more like, Sabbaticals: Keep Your Job And Take A Lot Of Time Off To Learn, Reset, And Regenerate.... or maybe this saying isn't working for this title.

Last year I took 2 months off of work. It was a unique, wonderful, privileged existence, and the best decision I've made in years. Even though I wasn't getting paid, I had a job, health insurance, and time to do whatever I wanted.

Why would my company offer a sabbatical?

I hear employee retention is a good thing! The tech industry is prone to high turnover. Things move fast here and the people want to move with it! This is good except that employee turnover is expensive, disruptive, and often a bad sign. I've worked at Tandem for almost 5 years and with several other employees for 4+ years, so I want to say our retention rate is high.

Fetch data in React Functional Component
// The goal: get data from JS Fetch API (an async function) and render data
// Example 1 (basic):

How-To Schedule a Welgreens Vaccine Appointment

How-To Schedule a Walgreens Vaccine Appointment

For those of you who have been hearing about the challenges of scheduling a Covid-19 vaccine appointment, I can say that these challenges are real. It is a confusing system and my first attempts felt very uncomfortable, even as someone who works with software. This guide hopes to help prepare anyone who has yet to schedule an appointment or anyone who wants insight into the Walgreens process.

About This Guide

The following are instructions based on aggregate experiences in downtown Chicago, IL and all scheduling was done a computer web browser (these instructions should be transferable to mobile or tablet but there may be discrepencies).

The instructions are specific to the Illinois vaccination process and the questionairre/scheduling prcoess differs slightly from state to state.
