Day 2 - Random thoughts, exercise

This Morning I was tempted to make more Mandazi after throwing away all the sour ones but after a hard thought, i decided to give myself time to recover from the embarrassment. :(

Work was busier than the earlier days of this week for some reason. More meetings and more emails to respond to. Also a lot more people called me for IT support. I guess reality is beginning to hit for many. The realization that 'we are not going back to work any time soon so whatever you're up to, you better find ways of making it work'. Or maybe the realization that after this season, the remnants of COVID-19 will also survive on survival for the fittest. Will there be jobs for everyone or only those who have proven themselves to their employer that they can face the new times? I saw new times because nothing will remain the same after COVID-19 for sure. For example will people still go to bars to drink or will they opt for the home drinking they have been accustomed to in the lockdown? So the salesperson who is used to branding at bars and moving in their car all over the place, will they sell the same? Or the IT department that has been supporting 300 on-site users; if managers realise that their staff can actually work from home and deliver, who will the IT people support on site? Or if they support at home, will they do it the same way they 'always' do it on site? The times after COVID-19 for sure won't be the 'as always' times.

Anyway, had a good day on the whole. Wound it up with stretching exercises on my Yoga mat, assisted by Tabi and her neighbourhood Friend Michelle, who is about 7 years old. (Yes my daughter is still playing with neighbours - and dont judge me) :)

And as i write this, finished my discussion a bit earlier than usual so decided to Pen my thoughts.

Cheers!
