    I had one of our team drop out last weekend (Sunday afternoon) ahead of a presentation on Tuesday with the dreaded covid (don't buy it- think he bottled it) so had to work throughout the rest of Sunday on Monday on a presentation. I've also got this marketing assignment due for the end of the month which includes handing in an advert (my laptop can't deal with editing).

    Still, at least it's warming up.

    I've tried a little go-slow to try and give myself a break but there's no real way of doing that in my business, either you do deals or you don't.
    I was going to type this post myself.

    Yeah it’s beyond tiresome now. If it wasn’t for FM and the prospect of horse racing to look forward to, it would be the pits. Liverpool being dogshit is a major contributing factor m, not gonna lie. I don’t even get the ‘zone out and pretend everything’s class for 2 hours’ at the weekend anymore.

    So Cheltenham on 16th-19th March and then rugby leagues back on 26th March, so that’s my light and the end of the tunnel. Can’t come soon enough tbh. Also got a stag do (previously mentioned in the job thread) in July as a massive milestone for 2021. If that goes ahead, the year could be saved. And then a holiday abroad in August? Wait, wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. Back to the horses.

    I'm starting to flag, possibly for the first time in the entire shitshow. I'm struggling to motivate myself for work, even when we're going through a really busy period (which could leard to serious growth, if we take advantage of it). Normally I'd be excited and spending evenings working on strategies and processes, but right now I just want to go to bed.

    That's it, physical exercise is the only way out of this. The Beast from the East is asleep for 12 more months. I went out in shorts and t-shirt earlier to the shop and it was glorious in the daytime sun. I've got a long road to undo all the physical and mental damage of the last 3/4 months through exercise in the coming months.

    Hit a low this morning and I'm not really sure why. It's something about the sheer monotony I think.

    Yesterday I went into the local town to get a takeaway burger for lunch (normally I'd have a boredom sandwich / salad) and on the way back to the car I took a slightly different route which went through a very short underpass where I hadn't been before. Whilst in this underpass - ten yards of grey concrete covered in rain water and bird shit - I suddenly felt this immense excitement because just for a second, I was actually in a place where I don't normally go. It felt so liberating.

    The joy of finding new walks..

    We've found a couple of new running paths locally and it's like unlocking Narnia for the brain.

    Sounds like you need some time away from the office, Jim.

    On the topic of liberation, I've stopped watching/reading the news and my mood has improved greatly.

    I think there's definitely a correlation between the people on here going through the more obvious lockdown meltdowns and those who are exposing themselves to as much news around this as possible.

    The news is my way of coping, I feel powerless unless armed with knowledge and information. Nothing in life will improve until the pandemic ends, so I have to have detailed expectations about when that might be.

    If I switched off from it then it would just be me, the office and the inside of a 1 bed flat in perpetuity. My brain is far too active to deal with that.

    I'm with Manc on avoiding the news. I still check in with it to keep up to date, but it's not the constant background noise it used to be.

    I've found getting a new hobbie invaluable. Learning how to trade on the stockmarket keeps my brain busy, gives me something to do in my spare time and gives me what feels like an entirely different world to escape too.

    The only time I'm really interested in the next bit of news is when they talk about the next phase of lockdown. Otherwise, it's just continued hysteria and misreporting.

    I've also started actively avoiding the news. It's all bollocks, as evidenced by the complete 180 they've done in focussing on the daily numbers since they've started to drop.

    I started obsessively keeping track of the statistics at about New Year, a) because I like keeping track statistics, and b) believing (as things were going very wrong at that point) that it would afford me a nice mental boost when things turned around. That did indeed happen, but now that boost has gone into reverse because the numbers are still doing the right thing but gov policy / media coverage isn't reflecting that, which has also convinced me that the media needs tearing down completely.

    I very rarely read the actual news in the conventional sense.

    Yeah, I can sniff [20% of] my extended climbs into mother nature's bosom and it's glorious. Work is looking better, I have a new workout, Liverpool are back...much to be grateful for. Allahuakbar.

    Cause I was having a pretty rough time with real life so I dove into it trying to bring joy to others with my participation only to be thwarted by some virgin basement dweller whose blind rage to what amounts to a series of 0’s and 1’s lead him incapable of picking up any strategy or code - who then was so embarrassed he loudly blamed it on me for trying too hard bc he was scared of losing internet points with his cool friends by fucking up what was a fun game prior with his petty, pedantic, and pathetic misconceptions.

    Mind you I’d happily have forgotten about this place until Baz followed me on twitter for the 5th time - which was why I closed my DMs to begin with as we found out last time I tried to stop being bothered by this bullshit if you change your email you get locked out of your account so I just turned off every light on my way out.

    But lets keep making this a thing I guess.
