I work in industrial automation, mainly oil & gas, and we thought it would all come to standstill in Mar-2020. We were wrong, in the last two years I worked as hard as I have ever worked. Only now there are some signs of a slowdown. Which by the way is not a good sign: any big industrial automation project is slow to start, and once it's going it is slow to stop. Next year is going to be interesting.

Just working, except for two weeks at the early stages of the pandemic when the factory I work at closed because the companies (car industry) we make stuff for closed, those 2 weeks I was ill enough to not want to play games, no idea if that was Covid or not, one needed to be near dead to get tested at the time.

I enjoyed it for a while, it was nice and cosy at home. Hated masks and needles.
Later a war started and that kept me even more interested than the number of beds used in Covid aisles.

During first wave in Russia got laid off from work (end of march 2020), sat around for one month before i could start working at another job. New job wasn't remote, i had to get a permit to travel to work. Then things cooled off a little, I managed to return to my old job after just 4 months. And no home-office again, regular office work for almost a year (Sept 2020 - Jul 2021). In July i caught covid, took it quite lightly and back to work until january this year, when omicron got widespread - we had a few weeks of home-office.

Funny to think about all this stuff when there's a literal war happening...

Raves, open air during summer and closed underground events. Sometimes the police stopped us but we changed place and continued. :D
