I miss leisure travel. Try to explore at least 3 new countries a year and I need my fix. Work travel I can do without.

I miss the momentum of travel and blissful hours of down time on a work flight. I miss the transient glee of an airport bar, drinking bad by-the-glass wine with my coworkers after a particularly grueling meeting/pitch. And I miss leaving and coming home again, as opposed to always ... being ... here. Thank you, 2020 for making me wax poetic about the Outback Steakhouse at CVG!

@kpmg 1, I’m in public and working lots of hours. My few hours at night usually turns into a regular workday in itself, but it’s on my schedule. In all honestly I have three 12/31 audits that have yet to be issued due to various delays and covid issues

I miss my commute and people watching. I miss everything.

I am in the customer service and sales side of travel insurance, and I am looking for a new job, possibly in another field. A much larger company purchased us 2 years ago, and over the last 6 months I have lost 2 designations, one as an advocate, which was my most rewarding. I was told that it had nothing to do with my performance. Any suggestions on how to obtain a position in another area? Such as going from strictly customer service and sales to advocate and claims? Thanks

For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers.

Wow…covid is really over. I live in a rural area where we knew covid was happening but it never really impacted the community or daily life. However when I’d go into the city it was very very obvious there were huge life impacts and fear. I just went into the city for the first time in about 3 months and it’s like covid never happened. It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.
