So how is everyone coping with this outgoing covid pandemic?
So for the 3-4 time I’ve honestly lost count my hometown and where I currently live is in lockdown again,

How’s your place or area going?
It sucks how so many people have died due to it
 
it might extended lockdown 2 weeks take that as a grain of salt. As long as Queensland doing the right thing and so on.
 
It’s crazy hahahahah

I heard about that but I guess we see what happens
 
I went to the shops (with a mask) and people weren’t wearing a mask lmao
 
Restrictions are done (well most of them) for England which is good, I guess. We have to return to normal eventually although this does seem like a bit of a bad time to ease the restrictions since cases and deaths are going up massively.

Here in Australia it’s on & off but I guess where still better off then most countries, besides 1 state as of posting this (NSW) all states are under 20 cases daily.
 
I struggled very much when the pandemic first hit in March 2020. We haven't been on locked down since then and have adjusted for the most part. For my family this has been a bit of a blessing in disguise as my employer had previously denied us from working remotely and when it became mandatory...well we prove that we can still function as a company even by working from home. Remote work is not for everyone and many have moved on to different companies since then because it was evident that they just did not have the discipline to work from home. Most of us have proved our value though so now we have the option to either work from home or work from the office. Like I said though, it wasn't an easy adjustment in the beginning. My only regret is not seeking help sooner - therapy has helped me tremendously.

We are all here for you, if you need anyone to talk to :)

Employment wise things have definitely been a hassle my job provider has been slacking since it all started even just to get a web development course that way I'm doing something productive. Things definitely have not been easy but we can push through.
