I grew bitter and resentful towards people who complained about how hard it was to work from home and all the downtime they had while I had to trudge into “critical” work everyday for low pay.

That does suck, I also grew bitter and resentful to all the people with families being like “oh I got fit and healthy and spent time with my loved ones” while I went over 3 months without a single face to face conversation with anyone…

My cousin’s wife divorced him after 6 months to move to her home country. Her stated reason was that during lockdown, she was isolated from her friends and family, and she couldn’t handle being alone again.

It was hard on all of us but…uh…what does she think the rest of us single people did?

These comics always confuse me because I forget anyone other than children had to stay home (and even that didn’t last too long)

People stayed home for like a year where I was.

That must have been miserable for opposite reasons than my experience. :( Not fair that some people had to do that, but not enough to actually keep the numbers down.

The full remote time during the pandemic allowed me to slowly update my profile pic for work until people started asking me what my pronouns were.

I was getting ready to come out to my sister in like late 2021, she had a really bad motorcycle accident and we were catching up and it seemed like the right time to tell her.

then she started talking about how a near death experience made her start re-evaluating some things, and then she came out to me and it was the fucking spiderman pointing meme. Both of us moved to WFH after covid hit so the timing makes sense, but it was such a wonderful coincidence.

I knew someone at university with a twin sibling. One was afab and the other was amab. Both came out as trans. We used to joke that instead of getting top / bottom surgery, they should just get head transplants :-)

I started transitioning 2 years before the pandemic, but it was still nice to be at home and not having to deal with people in person. Lots of people were and still are not very accepting of my transition.

I got bottom surgery about a year into the pandemic, that was, well a really brutal time because I also had bedbugs, moved, and returned to work in the same 6 week timeframe

And now people say I have a problem. I don’t have a problem. You have a problem.

I started making Sous Vide infused syrups for my cocktails. Which led to a lot more cocktails & an esoteric obstinance when it comes drinking well drinks out on the town… poor bartenders.

Probably at !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 🤷

Though tbf, we also tend to do that when there’s no shutdown 😁
