Year off? LOL.
But seriously, working from home / COVID has affected everyone differently. For every person enjoying the lack of commute and having to wear pants, there's someone else who is trying to work from the dining table in a share house with three others doing the same, or someone on their bed in their inner city studio feeling lonely, or the poor bastards trying to juggle kids.
I am relatively lucky in that I have a large home office, but I also have to share it with Mrs CD, and for the two months (yeah, ok it was only two months we actually worried about covid in in Brisbane), we were both working fulltime and juggling a 2 year old that we had pulled out of childcare. Essentially we had to roster the office and co-parent, meaning pretty much being on the go from about 6am and one of us was usually working until after 10pm (usually Mrs CD on an international video call, but she is used to it).
I certainly wasn't baking any bread, chilling with Netflix or learning a new language.
Whilst I like to be able to work from home, there is a difference between that and having to work from home. Before kids I admit it was definitely easier, and I could set my own timetable, but these days, I'm glad to be back in the office (and I sensible only have a 10 minute commute so there's not savings there). Plus my job involves at lot of networking, and Zoom just doesn't cut it.
I think some people, enjoying the saving on public transport etc, would have got a rude shock when they got their first electricity bill instead!
