Hi! It's great to read from you again! You've been missed!
Yes, a car is the most reliable way of transport. We see the limits of the mass transports much better now, so I hope the pressure on the limitations of the cars will be a bit milder in future. I've been travelling like crazy too, even though "just" between Prague and my current town of residence. After 7 months of not seeing my family, I made 5 trips during summer. So, I think I've topped your km count But yes, it does get tiring. I love to drive, but it is a bit hard to organise everything around such trips. And I've been a bit living in fear of something going wrong at any moment. The borders closing, confinement, and so on. Well, this time, the south is worse off then us. But we'll see how it goes.
Not sure, whether it is the historical memory working (people in my country haven't been tolerating all this too well, it reminded them of the communism times far too much), or everybody is getting anxious. But a study pattern might help us all
The "post-lockdown depression" is an interesting phenomena. We have seen an increase in various mental health issues here, but it's mostly all the postponed stuff, mixed together with the usual load. But I've noticed this "mild" thing everywhere outside of the hospital, and so have friends in other countries. A sort of a discouragement, "laziness" to do a lot of stuff because you simply don't know whether it even matters. I hope the whole continent will get out of it together. Don't be too harsh on yourself.
The workplaces are not the same anymore, you're right. I wish you the best workplace atmosphere possible under the circumstances.
