And let’s not forget how convenient it is. When I had luscious locks, I would constantly worry about shit, especially the weather. And I would spend at least 30min each morning preening myself in front of the mirror.
Now I wake up and I am good to go. It’s one less thing I have to stress about each day.
Supermarkets
You can meet someone you know and have a 10 -15 mins conversation with say your bye’s then you bump into them nearly every other isle . It gets annoying, what do you say ?
You turn down one isle and fuck me they are coming up the other way .
You try to blank them but you can’t help but saying something.
That’s why I am glad that my supermarket have a one way policy at the moment. And, because people are thickos and don’t understand arrows, they have these at the end of the aisles
First time I’ve went to my local Sainsbury’s since March haha. (Its not the big supermarket its the local smaller shop version) and the shop was empty haha. Still had to stand at the door until someone says you can come in but that was only a few seconds. Very eerie it being so empty tho
These fucking ten second soundbites on the news given over a cellphone. They all sound like a fucking strangled parrot and you can’t understand a poxy word. Can’t all the audio engineers do anything about this?
I remember going on holiday to Italy in 1967. Young bloke, bigging it up to the girlfriend, we went into a little shop and looked at all the wines. ‘Man of the World’ here selects a bottle, goes back to hotel expecting a romantic evening and, yup, you guessed it - fizzy water.
I think it holds weight. A new normal might literally mean workplaces decide to downsize the space they use for offices, a considerable shift towards a WFH culture (some of my friends have been told they’ll be WFH until next year with the view of it being permanent for some teams).
Whatever happens from this, it’s not going to be temporary and there will definitely be a huge culture shift.
Strongly disagree with huge. There might be slight changes here and there. More people may end up WFH now that companies realise they can due to this 3 month trial run so to speak.
But a huge change in culture? I don’t think so. Once we are free to socialise properly once again, we will be back to the way it was before.
New normal makes it sound like we won’t ever be having crowd gatherings ever again. No concerts, festivals, big sporting events etc
I get there may be more testing in place over the next year or so, but I don’t believe society will majorly shift.
