I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don’t miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

  • I have been full time remote since the pandemic and I know I’m in the minority when I say it’s terrible. I don’t have much social contact. I used to be able to walk over and directly talk things out with coworkers, shoot the shit, ask for a hand with stuff but it’s gone. I smoke more weed, fuck off about the same amount but it’s the lack of socialization since the pandemic that’s killing me. I don’t have much in the way of friends or family. I’m single, broke and just isolated as all hell. It’s so hard to keep track of time or the days because nothing changes. It’s hard to have a clear work/home divide when there’s nothing to really denote it. My office and my studio apartment are the same place so the only real breaks are when I go wandering around aimlessly outside.

    I mean I hate my job and the work I do so that doesn’t help but I’m losing my mind over here because of the isolation.
