my sister (long before covid) went from a two and a half hour round trip commute to a less than ten minute round trip commute. she reckons it was well worth the 5k+ drop in salary

Town has been like a film set where everyone forgot to go home after filming stopped on all my recent visits. Fash lined up outside the GPO with their flags and sticks, guards on horse back, people sitting outside the cafes but the interiors all empty, weirdness everywhere, people with loudhailers raging about the dictatorship etc. I'd like to go back to the office (or get out of the house, more like) maybe 2 or 3 days a week but it's too weird at the moment.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

It's been very quiet my end of town, no fash or guards. Just lots of closed up shops and cafes. It's kind of like a Sunday everyday.

IN ISOLATION, I'M NOT LISTENING LALALALALALALA




(I guess he's basically a protestant when it comes to money, for culture war reasons?)

What's his point? Is it just anti-socialist, pro capitalist?

Well like I was saying, I think he's basically just alt-right but doesn't know it. If he sees his enemies saying stuff about socialism he'll definitely push to privatize everything just to shove it in their faces.

This lockdown is so much easier than the last one, having schools open has made a huge difference. I am not worrying about the child's mental health or education and not having other people's kids and their angry dads in the parks morning noon and night is great, huge amount of stress gone for me because of that. I want to go out for lunch though. And get completely locked in a pub. And go hiking.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

It's exactly the same as the last one for me except this time I'm more like whatever about it

 

[therealjohnny]

When we went into the first lockdown I immediately noticed the lack of traffic and the silence. It was great.
This time around you wouldn't realise there's a lockdown on at all.

I was finding it easier initially, but its definitely affecting me this week. I'm feeling completely burned out from work and thoroughly exhausted, struggling to get out of bed, etc., this week, and I honestly think its the lack of sunlight and socializing. Finding it very hard with a really busy work schedule to get any time outside

I'm going to be honest, I did have a couple of cans with one of the neighbours and spent the night listening to metal tunes and playing guitar on Friday because neither of us had really been out of the house or seen anyone since we went in to Level 3 in Dublin and were both going fucking apeshit with cabin fever. Have to say, did me the world of good. I'd recommend it.

I'm doing a sneak off to the sea once a week for a swim. I get peripheral nerve damage from the meds I'm on and rightly or wrongly I believe it does my nerve endings good being in the cold water. It's great psychologically as well. I have many really outlandish excuses to tell the gards if I get snared for being outside my 5k, I am a really bad liar and tend to do Father Ted elaborate stories if I can't tell the truth.

That Seapoint was just resting in my account

I hear that. I’m off work this week but working on some college projects. Just it getting dark at 4pm and having no socialising to look forward to was really getting me down. Holding out for Christmas

I only get to go into the office 3 half days a week. I worked at home alone for long enough to still enjoy the novelty of the office so that isn't great. Though the main issue is how unresponsive the system can be. Having people back in school helps. I'd prefer if the college student was in more, the days he is in lift his mood.

was talking to a chap (early 70s at a guess) on monday who was telling me he and his wife took up sea swimming 6 weeks ago, and when lockdown kicked in they couldn't stop. he said he reckons his arthritis has improved from it.

You just say you're going to visit your parents/friend with mental health issues and apparently they don't ask anymore than that

Same here, couldn't hold out until Christmas though. And I have to say, last week I was really stressed out and sleeping like shit. This week I've been sleeping like a baby. A baby that sleeps well. Not one that keeps waking up every couple of minutes and shitting all over the bed. So, an imaginary baby not a real one

A few mornings a week I've been going for 5k runs around the park after I drop the kids to school.
