As a follow up to the chat on annual leave, I’ve decided to voluntarily take a few days off over the next couple of weeks. I initially cancelled some leave I was due to take in late March - what’s the point of wasting holidays if we’re going to be stuck at home anyway, right?
But now I think it will be good to ease into the day without having to log on straight away and then keep a toddler occupied while working. We’ll go for some long walks (within our exclusion zone) and come home via the park. I’ll let him run on the pitch where I saw a GAA team illegally training yesterday lunchtime.
I know that weekends allow for this in theory, but I’ve found so far in lockdown that we’ve been catching up on shopping, laundry, cleaning and so on, and only getting out for half an hour here and there. Most days seem repetitive whether it’s a weekday or weekend.
Maybe others should consider this and come back to the INTERNET refreshed and recharged afterwards.
I threw my hat at it a few days ago, I go out now whenever i want, they can’t police it in London anyway, nor do they want to do, its a mickey mouse lockdown so they can be seen to be doing something, they are secretly going for herd immunity in any case
Are lads able to work from home to the same level as being in the office? I was listening earlier to the radio where they were saying it’ll have a huge impact on city centres if working from home becomes a thing.
Incredibly I did just this last week. It has transformed my humble home.
I also drilled holes in block wall for the first time in my life. More satisfaction in the task of hanging the TV than in 20 years of being an excel jockey.
