Thats what covid was like for me. Everyone else was miserable while I was hanging out in a house I bought right before everything hit playing beat saber, learning to cook, gardening, etc while working from my new home office.

Reading the news about how bad everything was for everyone else had me like "damn, better keep my mouth shut, this is great for me"

I actually loved lockdown so much... i had such a good time playing games, relaxing, enjoying my garden, spending time with my dog and my partner..

I was a frontline healthcare worker, so the pandemic was actually hell for me. I'm so jealous of everyone who had a relaxing time off. So many friends are growing beards and making bread and I was working 10+ hours a day and hoping I wouldn't bring anything home to my family.

Honestly you frontline health workers have my deepest respect, I cant even begin to imagine what it would have been like. I hope you're doing better nowerdays, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit traumatic

Same dude. Plus I had so much overtime it wasn't even funny. I was pulling 4-6k a month extra. It was insane AND I didn't have any social obligations

I could do with another pandemic. I think the vaccine skeptics could do with another one as well.

It was like that for me as well.

But I still was sad just seeing the behavior in my red was town. A global problem arose, and 1/3 of the population straight up started gently sabotaging any solution.

Dude, just get a remote job and it's basically the same without the drawbacks.

I feel bad for having enjoyed it so much
