All I have is work

I'm one of the lucky ones who can work almost like normal during this time. Some might say I wasn't lucky as I can't just stay home doing nothing. But that would just drive me crazy. Not having anything to do just wouldn't work for me. And it's not just about the money.

It's just that when there is not much else to do, no clear separation from work time and free time I tend to work long hours. Filling the days with something to do keeps the thoughts away from the current situation.

The most notable difference from normal work routine is the increased amount of meetings. All online, naturally. They are also spread across the whole week too, unlike normally. I used to have those real remote days when my calendar said "no meetings, please". There were also no-one else home so I had some nice and quiet slon6e time.

Working so much, and especially all the talking I have to do during all those meetings leaves me socially exhausted. Distancing definitely doesn't have to mean social isolation, thanks to todays communications technology.

Maybe the upcoming Easter weekend does good for me. Having to not work for four days sounds scary and hopeful at the same time.
