When Remote Work Gets You Stuck

It’s all good and well when you are working remotely. Surely by the third lockdown we’ll be used to all this. But now, baby, it’s cold outside. 

We enjoy staying indoors, managing our own time AND actually getting things done, which I thought was going to be proven difficult.

Working desks, comfort, regular breaks, everyone is good. We are all on a schedule. All we need to make sure is that everyone knows what they’re doing. (Most of the time we’re all like cats and dogs, between four walls but we go with it…)

Until you need to pop out to run an errand. It’s cold and the cold affects not only us people but also machines. Living in the UK for nearly 20 years, did I ever expect a cold blast? Yes. Was I ready for it? No. Just over a month from its last MOT. Mr Bean-typical! 

No charging kit, and we can’t necessarily knock at the neighbours door to ask if they’ve got one we can borrow… We are in the middle of a lockdown! Off we go to Halfords. Thank God they’re still classed as essential!

Spring will soon be here and the end of the lockdown is not expected until at least the Summer.

Then we get rid of the cold only to reach the second Spring in Covid lockdown. The weather will be inviting, people will want to get outdoors and you know people, they don’t follow rules… 

Well, at least Trump is no longer President, property prices will decrease, remote work will go on, vaccines will roll out everywhere. Vive les vacances!
