List something good that came out of COVID-19.

Double workouts....since March except when I go in the office 2 days a week, then it's one looooonnngggg one. Good thing that I'm able to save miles/gas on my car, and I don't go into my daily potty mouth routine driving into work.

S.

Same here!

It was a positive experience for me. I have a good understanding of software now (because I had to deal with work time, zoom, Trello, and many other office programs). It afforded me more time with my family. So much that I'm considering switching to remote work before I was skeptical about it.

Along those lines it should allow you more time to post a proper intro.

Concrete:

Working from home has been fantastic. I've gotten to see my daughter grow, help my wife, tend to the house, and work out more. The year has been prosperous and many on my street have seen the value of improving their immediate surroundings, by way of neighbors sharing more Christmas cards, putting in pools, going for more walks, etc.

Mindset:

I got to assess how "prepared" I was, and tend to vulnerabilities.

Philosophical:

I've seen how people really think (and just how many don't). Reading up more on "civil" war history has been eye opening and educational. The vantage point that the understanding of the history provides is awesome.

Sounds like time well spent.

Silver lining: I bought a bunch of bullets years ago now I'm glad I did

I’m a UPS driver during a time when everyone is staying at home ordering sh*t.
Best earning year ever by a huge margin.

So many opportunities opened up that I had my pick.
Transferred back into the little trucks, completed my three year obligation in the big trucks so work rules make my original seniority dovetail, and am now settling into what we call a “retirement route”.

It’s a good time to be a high seniority employee in this industry.

^^^ Good for you GratefulCitizen!

Great news! I wish you the very best of success with your remaining time there. It's always nice to hear good news concerning someone's employment these days.

People were scared and when people are scared they buy guns, knives and ammo. Since, I make knives it has been a record year for Spartan Blades and we really appreciate that we have been blessed by great sales and a lot of new customers!

We miss the trade shows and travel, and are getting a little shop and homebound crazy; wishing to travel, but no travel did save money for us and our business.

I wish everyone a safe and happy New Year!

Nothing I can see is good ! The country more divided now. The MSM & The CCP managed to get Joe Chink Biden appointed to POTUS. CHINA is on the path to replace the U S A as the number 1 economic power in the world, The deep state congress is giving money to everyone especially our enemies. The future of the U S A is not good, we are on the path to become a 3rd world shit hole country a civil war is likely if the country spirales toward hyper-inflation with record Unemployment, the loss of the middle class and freedom once guaranteed by the U S Constitution &The Bill of Rights. My advice ... I don't have any that would turn things around. RESIST the radical left & NEVER QUIT.

Lighten up Francis!


No, seriously Tom, I hear you, it’s not been a good year and 2020 can’t be over fast enough but every conflict/disaster has a silver lining somewhere hiding in plain sight. I was just curious whom among us found something to be thankful for.

Wishing everyone a Happy and better New Year! 2021 is going to be the beginning of something special, I just know it.

I truly admire your optimism, I hope it is infectious and starts a new pandemic we need one. Happy New Year to you and to everyone else here!
