Honestly, this was the most stressful part of Covid for me. I know I was fortunate to be able to work from home for most of it, but having my boss or some other group I was a part of going “iT’s oVeR! TiMe To gEt BaCk tO nOrMaL!” every week or two for two years was a fucking roller coaster I did not need to be on.

Still better than those who had to keep working through it - medical professionals, especially.

I'm 51 and the longest I've ever been able to take off of work consecutively was a week. I've been working weekends since I was 11. I did get one weekend off last year though.

Oh for sure. I count my blessings. I don’t think I could even handle being frontline medical in good times.
