On the whole, we are doing OK. Not getting to see our coworkers and friends is hard and we all miss each other more than we expected when we started the quarantine. Some of us have moved home to relatives to be able to interact in person with a loved one, of course after taking proper precautions and making sure everyone is healthy. For some, this is very hard mentally and things like a Discord server for chit-chatting and hanging out there on Fridays helps a little. We are doing what we can to help each other, but I wish we could do more. Personally, working from home is not that bad as I live with my partner and we live in an area where I feel safe enough to go out and take walks. I have visited family and friends (very sparingly) but kept my distance and kept my hands clean with water, soap or hand sanitizer. Not having to travel to the office every day is nice, but it also means that I don't get my steps in as easily and I miss being able to just stop by someone's desk and talk to them about whatever. We all want this to be over ASAP so everything can get back to normal, but we are also happy that we are able to work at home and that we are working at a place that takes this seriously. How are you doing?
I'm good, thanks for asking.
Having to stay inside over a long period of time is not an easy thing to do. However, we must do our part to help others in this difficult time.
