[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has turned into a weird kind of Olympics where the more you complain now = the happier you were pre-Covid, and the happier you are now = your life sucked pre-Covid. Can we agree that some people are miserable in any situation, and some people can find the silver lining in any situation? :-)[/quote]

No I don’t think that’s accurate at all.

It will be interesting to see if all these “happier now” people actually stick to a more relaxed life when everything goes back to normal. I somehow doubt it.[/quote]

I'm happier now, not a hugely so, but a little. I'm happier because I've got more time to see my kid working from home (but she gives me the space and time to get work done) and I'm not commuting so I've got a extra time to cook a hot breakfast, read while I'm having coffee, etc. It's not like I didn't know these things would make me happy, but they weren't an option before and won't be an option when things go back to normal. My boss won't let me work from home, so it'll be back to commuting. I won't get my leisurely homemade breakfast, my kid will be in daycare and we won't have that time together. It sucks, but it's life. I'm trying to enjoy now as much as possible.[/quote]
