[QUOTE="How bad boy, post: 6640876, member: 3028"] Fairly similar to yourself, not having to commute or visit customers has saved me 10+ hours a week, most of which has been spent with family. Really great time for it too, in the past 2 months my son has gone from barely being able to talk to being able to sing, count, say full sentences etc.. Glad I'm not missing it. Got the running routine back, lost 3kg so far, despite a fairly nasty dose of <something, maybe Covid> a few weeks back. Hopefully will come out of this healthier, which would be nice. Last would be how weird it is living through something that is definitely a major historic event. We had it with the financial crisis, 9/11, invasion of Iraq, but this seems somehow less urgent and a bit weirder. It's a slow moving disaster, with a strong possibility that it gets much, much worse lingering ahead of us. My engineer brain is essentially thinking about the likely upcoming scenarios, perfectly happy to simply work it through logically. Then I remember there's humans involved in all of it, it's not just facts, figures, projections etc... The looming economic crisis is one where tens, maybe hundreds of millions of people will lose most of their incomes, things may be very shit for a few years. And then there's Covid itself. This is the first wave, for the second highly likely wave, do we lock down as tight again? And what about the 3rd, 4th waves? And translating that to a personal level, does that properly finish off my wife's employer? There's a really, really weird feeling where things today are fine, but for a lot of people they're very much not fine and this thing could get much worse. Or maybe not. Historic events are usually pretty obvious in retrospect, but right now, hard to know what the future looks like in 6-12 months time. [/QUOTE]
