With COVID-19 happening and the world going back into lockdown (at least until vaccines are widely distributed), I have not been doing much these days other than working. It has been increasingly difficult to continue posting on the blog every Monday. I have decided to stop with my scheduled posts for now, and just post when I feel like. I also want to use this post to talk about what's been going on in my life and how I am feeling.
My life has become quite monotonous these days. I am working for a new company, and things are going reasonably well. I am learning a lot, and the position has its rewards and challenges. The biggest challenge for me so far is not being able to build up the rapport and relationships with my new co-workers, because we all work from home. I can only speak to my co-workers through Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and it is not the same as actually seeing and speaking to them. Do not get me wrong, I love working from home because I save so much time and money from commuting to work, but it would be nice to see some of my co-workers for the first time. I feel like because I changed jobs during a pandemic and I am working from home for the foreseeable future, I will not feel like I am as part of the team and the culture like I was when I was working for my previous company.
After work, I am usually reading or playing video games. I picked up a number of games during the Black Friday sales, including The Last Of Us II (a review will come in the new year) and Luigi's Mansion 3. I could actually keep up my schedule by posting video game reviews every week, but I feel like the blog will become stale if I do that. I am taking a little break from making video game reviews and I am in a state where I just want to play video games and not worry about writing reviews.
I admit that I have not been reaching out to friends as much as I should (or at all). The funny thing is that I constantly think about a number of people that I want to reach out and just say hi, but I always stop short of doing it. There are a few reasons why I do not check up on friends. I generally do not like text conversations all that much and I tend to procrastinate and push these things to the next day. I guess this is a mental block I need to get over, or maybe I fear that I may have already been forgotten.
I know that I have talked about these things in previous posts, but these things are still on my mind. I am not sure where I will be taking this blog from here, but if there is something to write about, no question that you will see something here. The frequency of my posts on this blog will most likely be more sporadic for the time being.
