Has your life gotten better or worse since the Pandemic began?

[Barozi]

Much better.

I graduated from university and started my new job (which had nothing to do with the pandemic) but I didn't have to pay attention to most courses. Obviously, it was pretty easy to cheat (Wasn't necessary but saved me some time).

I can currently work 100% from home, so I'm saving about 2 hours each and every day that I otherwise would've spent on getting to and from work.
My new boss, who wasn't a big fan of people working from home changed his opinion due to the pandemic. That allows me to keep working from home about 2-3 days a week once the pandemic is over. On top of that, things are pretty slow at the moment (which my boss told me is nothing out of the ordinary) so instead of being stuck at work and browsing the internet for hours, I can do much more meaningful things at home.

I'm currently living in a commercial zone and since most places had to close down, there's much less noise than usual. (Especially the close-by dancing school and their customers who keep meeting in front of my appartment were really annoying.) Also more available parking spaces.


Only downside was the inability to travel. I still managed to go on vacation to the Netherlands last year and once more just a few days ago actually, but anything that would've involved a flight, even within Europe, would've been too dangerous (flight cancelling, no entry on border, quarantine on entry/return etc.).
