    At 10 am I begin my online Japanese language class with my tutor Akihiro.

    Is this a service/product available to everyone or something you've arranged privately. Mad to learn Japanese, but it's not the easiest language to learn just by reading it, requires practice.

    Work/money/home situation is grand.

    I miss my parents. I want to visit, but what if I've got the covid and I pass it on, and they get sick? What if something else happens and I can get to see them? I'm not worried about myself and I don't miss the pubs and all that crap. I miss a few people.

    The only thing I miss is the odd night in the pub and haircuts but I can live without them as long as I get a haircut within 3 months, its grand!
    Im working less, just doing a few days a week and its great.

    As someone mentioned, people are very soft with no resilience. I can understand elderly people or people living alone struggling with isolation and I say this as someone who has had mental health issues and no how difficult it can be to deal with your own head but people are having melt downs over a few weeks of reduced social contact and its pathetic.
    I wonder if these people have had such easy lives theyve never had to deal with anything not going their way.

    Saw some angry posts on Twitter complaining about non essential items being closed off in shops and how pyjamas are essential items and they have a right to buy them. Allot of people seriously need to get a grip of themselves.

    Pyjamas are essential when it's coming into winter and the 8-9 year old warm ones don't fit your now 10 year old

    It’s not just a few weeks though. It’s been 8 months of rolling restrictions, in and out of lockdowns with hundreds of thousands out of work.

    People coped quite well back March when we all thought it really would be just a few weeks. 8 months later having a positive attitude and making the best of things doesn’t come as easily.

    Anyway, in regards to the OP, I’m coping a bit better now that I’m employed again and find work to be a great distraction.
    I do really miss my friends and am finding being single extremely difficult during these circumstances.

    And why are we still in it 8 months later? Combination of bad government practices and ignorant, selfish people. But that's not what this thread is about.

    I neither agree nor disagree with you, and I know that it isn’t what this thread is about.
    I just don’t think it’s fair to say people are gone so soft that they can’t cope with a few weeks of reduced contact and restrictions. It hasn’t been just a few weeks. It’s been the majority of the year.
    Many people who were ok during the first lockdown are crumbling this time around and that doesn’t mean they’re soft or weak willed people.

    Doubt they'll suddenly grow out of all their pyjamas within 6 weeks and if such a thing did somehow happen we're lucky enough to have online shopping. Also, if really stuck im sure theres no harm in wearing slightly too small pajamas to bed or an old tshirt.
    There are people homeless dying on the street, you will last 6 weeks without a shopping trip to pennies.

    It’s not difficult to plan for this in advance or order online with delivery only taking a day or two in most cases nowadays.

    If I don't get to see someone besides me playing music in the same room before the year is out I think I might fall into a coma.

    I can understand people losing their jobs having difficulty dealing with the lockdown but theres a pandemic and we all knew this wasnt going to be over in the first half of the year. Multiple lockdowns where expected all along.
    We all just have to deal with it because getting depressed or frustrated wont fix anything.
    I dont think positive thinking helps but being grateful and adaptable does. Feelings are transient and like everything else, this will pass eventually and life goes on.

    tisnt even so much that, for me

    its that anyone who finds the positive and speaks it is treated like theyve attacked anyone who can only see the bad

    funny way of dealing with life imo but youve to choose those to whom you pay attention too, u spose

I guess the point I'm making is that closing off certain sections of retail and forcing people to buy online is bad news for the economy, with very questionable reasoning in the fight against covid.

    I'm reasonably happy out, only have first World problems to complain about. Job hasn't been affected other than working from home, which I love. I've started a post grad in the evening to keep me busy. Playing a ton of online games with friends in my downtime (sometimes during work hours...). Managed to pay off a lot of debts over the summer. I'm ignoring the guideline about not visiting other houses to be honest. Only broke it once so far to watch a match with a friend. Been dabbling with online dating. I'll most definitely continue to break that guideline depending on how the online dating goes. Putting my life on hold in that regard simply isn't going to happen. It's not like I'm attending house parties.

    I've completely disconnected myself from everything covid related. Got rid of any suggested articles. I don't listen to the radio. I've banned myself from the Covid forum, same flawed arguments in the relaxtion thread was driving me up the wall. I highly recommend unplugging from it all as best you can. I'm lucky relatively few people I know have contracted the virus.

    My biggest issue is that I have a ton of holidays to take before the end of the year with absolutely nothing to do. I'd actually prefer to keep working rather sit on my arse. If that's not a first world problem, I don't know what is.

    yes when needed a piece of tube and couplers to fix burst water pipe and woodies nearby closed.
    Whats the reason as vital parts required and government were not going to pay for plumber for which
    i can do myself.
    as for on-line this equals less staff for "entity" and bigger PROFIT, whilst the staff would\could be sharing a bus\train
    just the same as teachers etc. whom have to work.
    i agree lock down BUT for ALL not just the chosen allowed to continue.
    We had no real government for a long time whilst they decided to form and that
    not really do any harm SO place them on covid payment and save some tax money.

    Pretty sure the idea of closing the clothes sections is because of people "just going for a look". It encourages people to leave the house and gather in areas where it's more likely to get/spread the virus. I've no doubt if you said to the customer care desk in Dunnes that you need jocks for the young fella, they'd go and get the ones you need. That's the whole point, stopping people browse shopping. Get what you need, feck off out of here.

    When Dunnes reopened the clothes sections after the first lockdown, people again started to stop and have chats while blocking aisles, etc. No matter how much media coverage something gets, the problem is the ignorance and selfishness of people who care about nothing and no-one other than themselves and their own wants/needs.

    The only time I do seem to go insane during this lockdown is when I have to do the shopping, because of other people. It's not even a lockdown. We have internet, video calls, texting. I don't see the constant need to be near someone to talk to them. Most likely afraid of saying something while gossipping and being caught I reckon. Nosey cnuts.

    I've been finding it tough in many ways but some positives are:

    I only need to go into work about two days a week now which suits me.

    I've been doing an evening course with the hopes of possibly changing jobs some time next year(something that I've wanted to do but never had the time or energy to take the plunge).

    Looking into doing other classes online too.
    Something fun, not anything else to do with studying or assignments

    Isn't that where online shopping comes in? I got caught out in March I was 7 months pregnant and had to source all of my maternity stuff, baby clothes and hospital bag items - amazingly, the internet provided :)

    The Tesco shop in Finglas had to close off its clothes section during the first lockdown because at one point customers (mostly women I believe) were killing each other over the F&F stuff. Stripping off and trying stuff on in the aisle because the fitting room was closed, attacking each other over sale stuff and abusing staff who tried to intervene. It's always the small few who ruin it for everyone :D

    It's going well. I live rural so have plenty of space for long, rambling walks - I have always worked from home so little has changed - I don't go to pubs so don't miss them but I do miss a holiday or visiting family, friends.

    I care for my other half and at first I worried about us and particularly about catching covid so I have been semi-cocooned for most of it and have relaxed into the slower pace of life, which is occasionally peppered with fortnightly shopping trips and the odd hospital/gp appointments. I have a busy day, there's lots to do.
