It's been pretty demoralising dealing with youngsters who have had their career plans scuppered, but needs must.
I'm sure it's been horrible, and will continue to be for some time yet, I was talking with my wife earlier, she was arguing about the roads being too busy, but I know many employers have insisted people work at work, so they were bound to be busier, but for me they are still much quieter than a "normal" working day, and much quieter than in say October.
As for youngsters who had their career plans messed up, they have to stay positive, it may only be a years delay, and it may be in something they'd never thought of before, so there could be eventual benefits longer term.
We are in a fortunate position, both of us work part time these days, and I get my pension on top, so financially we're fine, and most of my work has been from home, my wife isn't so lucky as she works as a dental assistant, she got furlough until September, but now she's back in, and her boss has adjusted her schedule to her advantage, and on top of that, she's been lucky enough to be vaccinated with her first dose much earlier than if she hadn't been working, or did something else.
