I am starting to become really accustomed to my COVID-19 isolation routine.
Going back to the regular daily grind may prove to be interesting I feel, should restrictions gradually begin to lift. I am not entirely sure that being used to it is even a good thing--socially speaking, it has been a rather slow time. I am well and truly in my own head 80% of the time if I am not working remotely.
I am one of the luckier ones...working four jobs over the last year or so has proven useful--I was stood down by one job, work dried up for two others due to restrictions on gatherings and the like...one has remained and seen me through the last six weeks. So between working that single job (tutoring) via online delivery, I have spent countless hours walking, completing the last two units of my second university degree, delving into the many genealogical mysteries my family seems to possess and writing.
I am busy, but not spread thin like I usually am when all jobs are going full ball. Perhaps the pandemic has been a sign that I need to drop a job. That was made even more obvious when I was asked to come back to the one job that doesn't hold much relevance to my future career today...the lack of excitement on my part was palpable. Time to consider some permanent changes to my working schedule post restrictions.
