    Wait until he hears what the odds looked like for Hilary Clinton going into Election Night.

    The number of people saying "they shouldn't have gambled renting a place they can't afford" and "they should have been responsible with their savings" is just... Wow. As if anyone could have possibly predicted a pandemic

    Been working from home since March. Definitely has its perks but recently I have been missing some comradery of being around my team in person. Think that is partially due to it being winter and the lack of sunlight that comes with that. Hoping that whenever we go back that they will allow us to work from home a day or two during the week. I do not miss my 45 minute to an hour commute.

    also been home since march. love it. do not miss seeing anyone but i'm kind of a homebody. plan is to be remote and revisit plans in april. even when we go back, it'll be a hybrid schedule. 2 or 3 days in office and the rest at home.

    My department has luckily always been allowed to WFH on two days per week of our choosing, and has been fully remote since March and I don't think we're ever going to go back to that original policy. We've seen and proved that we still get stuff done when at home full time.

    We're moving to a "reserved desk" model where you keep your keyboard and shit in a locker and pick a cubicle desk online for 2 weeks at a time

    I love working from home but do miss some of the things that come with being in the office. We are working from home at least until July at this point. I’m hoping we can continue to work from home and only go into the office 1-2 days a week.

    I have a second job that I work 1-2 days a week and it’s retail so I’m still out with the public. It sucks.

    Been working from home since March as well. They let people go back into the office in October, but I said I wasn't comfortable going back in and my director was cool with that, it only lasted a few weeks before there was an outbreak in the office and had to send everyone home again. Who didn't see that coming?

    I mostly love it, and have been doing well mentally, but this week I've been losing my fucking mind. Can't concentrate on anything. The stress of the election, the holidays, finding out my best friend and his whole family tested positive, and all the other shit from the year finally weighing on me.

    After all this I don't see how I'll ever be able to spend 40+ hours a week in an office again though.
