I would've been back in America, had a Birmingham trip booked in April too, but wasn't to be.

My life would have probably been worse. I had a lot of weight on my shoulders before going into lockdown, and it at the very least gave me an opportunity to slow down and breathe a little.

Kids would have been at school... Otherwise not really any different. I work from home anyway most of the time and my wife has been working as normal throughout.

I won't lie, working from home with kids around the whole time hasn't been the easiest thing in the world... But it hasn't exactly been hard either. Just not as leisurely as my work usually is .

Working much more actively obviously.
I'd have been traveling to and fro to Republic of Ireland to see my Mother.
Who fortunately I got over here to be with me here, before the lockdown.

Then would have had a holiday probably.

All can be done once all is safer again.

I would've gone back to London sooner (not yet, but still earlier than I will do)

Also while being at home I would've gone out a lot more to places like Birmingham, Solihull etc

Have a lot of birthday parties, specifically 30 y-o ones (thank God mine was in January!)
Been to many places already booked/planned.
Go to Iceland as summer holidays (damn it)
Not to worry about my wedding cancelled or not (so far it's not as it is still planned for October)
Just go out eating, rooftops, bars etc The daily stuff.

But it's all manageable in the end.

I would have probably burnt out.
Instead i get paid the big bucks to work from home, and I love it.
Long may it continue.

Same here, hence I post more on Tibb

But work before all of that was too insane and I kept pushing myself.
Now I take time to do stuff, I still don't go to the gym so I have even more free time to cook, plan the last bits of my wedding etc. At 6pm I log out and enjoy my night. No more crazy hours.
And I'm not even a bad manager, I don't crazily check what my employees do on a daily basis. Weekly Teams meetings are enough. I know some managers that are control freaks and it's horrible.

This was gonna be my year so reckon if it wasn't for the damn Covid I'd now be engaged to a beautiful woman, moved to a high flying job, run a couple of marathons and bought a nice big house

But ah well what can you do
