Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness

Thank you, argh I'm sorry the link didn't work again. I've had trouble lately with DW adding garbage HTML to the end of my links, but it doesn't show up in the edit-post page so I can't do anything about it! So weird and frustrating.

Yeah, honestly I've just interviewed for a job that if I get it would be all remote (but hey, pre-pandemic they probably wouldn't have considered anyone outside of London so I couldn't have gone for it at all!) and that isn't ideal for me either but other things that aren't work-related have been much more accessible for me. For a silly example, I love virtual club nights and gigs where you just put them on your TV but you don't have to queue for drinks or loos, you can hear each other talk, and you can go to bed without even having to stagger home in a taxi. ;) Not everyone's cup of tea I know but it's made something I've never really enjoyed into a lot of fun for me.
