If you're not driving for work, you don't have mileage claims... seems pretty straightforward to me

like

Think about all the extra sleep time (or workout time or video games time or whatever you’re into) you get now by not spending time commuting. That’s worth more than the mileage claims to me 👍

For me, this is at least 10 hours per week, either from not commuting locally or from not doing the up early Monday (or leave Sunday) and get home late Thursday airport grind.

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.
