Good kid, enjoy the extra family time.
Canāt put a price on that.
Are we still on the road to nowhere?
To paraphrase/change slightly evidence given by James Gogarty many years ago
āCan we f**kā
Do as I say not as I do because the shitās so deep you canāt run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive, my walletās fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then Iāll hit you again
Iām a smart ass, but Iām playing dumb
Standards set and broken all the time, control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if I was born deaf, blind, and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
Iām a victim of a catch twenty-two
I have no belief
But I believe Iām a walking contradiction
And I aināt got no right
In all seriousness, is there any prospect of anything this year?
The initial optimism of the vaccine seems to have fizzled out.
Iām quite disillusioned with it all to be honest.
Relax

Itās insane.
Was back to work this week after a long break and it kind of hit home hearing the listlessness in peopleās voices since this new wave hit. I havenāt been in our office since March, same as a lot of my colleagues since weāre well geared for WFHing. Youād be there chatting away to the lads on Teams going "Yeah sure I might go back in in February or Marchā¦ " but sure youāre plucking months from the air really. And then you get a reminder for another meeting (a āhard stopā) and you jump onto that one and youāre there having the same conversation with someone else sitting in their slippers and a third-day t-shirt in a kitchen far, far away. Not having to deal with people in real life seemed manageable, even positive, when you were looking at it for a few months, but rolling over into a new year and staring down the barrel of God knows how many more months of this shit is actually fairly daunting.
And weāre the ones whose work has been relatively unaffected. Folks in the pub/ restaurant/ entertainment etc games must be going demented altogether.

Last year I enjoyed two good nights without a vaccine. I think I got two weekends away and had about another 6 socially distant sessions.
This year I might not get a coffee until May.
Hard to be too optimistic.
Sure what could go wrong

If everyone over 70 and in the vulernable category are vacinnated by March then surely they will open up to some degree?
Nobel peace prize winner, that is mad.

People in aviation, events and hospitality have been fucked over in particular, with the head honchos who were given incredible resources to fight this, seeing zero accountability for their failures.
Remember the day of this video?
We had 4 Covid cases on that day ffs.
