Second full day of working from home today, and it's not too bad at all. I mean, obviously as anyone else working from home will doubtless have realised already, maintaining your focus on a tedious day job when you're surrounded by all your home comforts can be a challenge, but other than that, it's perfectly doable. In fact, I kind of hope we'll have the opportunity to continue working from home after this whole thing blows over… but I doubt that will happen. We'll see.
As for the other side of the whole "social distancing" thing — i.e. not being able to go out and do stuff — it hasn't really bothered me all that much, because to be perfectly honest I tend not to go out and do stuff a lot anyway. I reached a point a good few years back now where I realised I never had any fun going "out" to the pub or clubs or whatever, so I stopped, and I haven't regretted it. I don't waste my money on drinks I'll probably chunder back up the next morning, which of course means more money available for video games!
The only thing I'm really missing out on is our supposedly fortnightly board gaming evenings, but given that those have been extremely sporadic and prone to short-notice cancellation ever since two of our number foolishly went and procreated, it honestly doesn't feel like much of an adjustment there, either.
I'm sure I'll go stir crazy before long, but I have plenty of things here at home with which to keep myself occupied until that happens!
Make sure you take good care of yourselves, too, and try not to be too anxious; all this will pass before long, and it will be nothing more than a rather unusual memory!
