Back to Reality?

It appears that I will be returning to some form of normality soon. In fact, my day job will return five months to the day since we stopped. I am nervous, relieved, and excited in equal measure. I have enough sanitiser for a sheep dip, and plenty of ideas for socially distanced drama. The last five months has taught me many things. Firstly….Never trust governments. Yes, I know, I should have realised that long ago, but there was still a small part of me that felt like we wouldn’t get left behind. But for a small grant (and I mean small) from my union, we have received no support at all, in spite of being promised that no-one would be left behind. Even the local politicians with the power to help have simply lied and obfuscated their way out of it. I shall never forget this. It will change me going forward, and I will take every opportunity to get funding and take back out of a system that seemed to let us down this time round. On the positive side, I have learned far more about me and the way I tick. I need people. More than I realised, and Zoom has been rather useful for that. I shall muse further over the next couple of weeks, and perhaps highlight some of the positives and negatives of the situation as we go…..
