I've taken a bit of time this weekend to get ahead of schedule on videos so I can focus on Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy for the majority of my free time. I've been getting a little behind on it for one reason or another, not because I'm not enjoying it — quite the contrary — but because I've been giving myself a bit too much to do, I think!
Still, it's all good now, and the day job is likely to be pretty quiet for a little while too, so all should be well from this week. I'm hoping they're not going to try and push to get people back in the office yet, what with the easing of some of the restrictions here in the UK; I suspect before long we'll likely be back to full-on lockdown, because the British public has shown on plenty of occasions already that they can't really be trusted even during a global pandemic!
I'm not sure why some companies are so dead-set on getting people back into the office anyway. If the lockdown period has demonstrated anything, it's that employees who don't do anything "physical" can do their job entirely from a home office. Granted, there's always the productivity question, then — and I know I'm certainly a prime example, because my motivation is at an absolute minimum right now — but that is often an issue whether or not you're on the "official premises" for your job. I'd be feeling bored, miserable and dissatisfied if I was sitting in the office — likely more so, in fact, because I wouldn't be able to easily step away for a few minutes and play a game or something.
Ah well. What will be will be and all that; we just have to take each day as it comes right now. And enjoy your time when it's possible to do so!
