Dont miss the commutes I must say.
WFH not for everyone, especially if you have kids at home. Personally I prefer to be in work, kind of realise that my commute (3.5hours) per day is my personal time free from any responsibilities. As well as that I like being in the CC, have been in the CC daily since 1976 until last March, so miss it (sneaky pints).

Our Company have implemented a plan for returning to the office in September. Monday & Friday you can work from home if you want, and then in the office Tues-Thursday. That suits me pretty well and is probably the best solution IMO

I'm 10km from my office so will be cycling when we go back in. Avoid the train altogether

A lad in my office drives to work from Kilkenny City to Dublin 18 and does for the same reason, it's his personal time to listen to the radio or whatever. He's allowed work from home but similar to me and loads more doesn't want to.

Apologies when I expressed my personal preference I didn’t
take into account everyone else’s opinion and life circumstances. 

Btw kids at home here too and I would still prefer missing the commute.  That’s purely a personal preference and I don’t miss the city centre one bit, then again I don’t hate the people I live with either Tongue

Each to their own and I am sure those that want to work from their works location will be facilitated and in fact will probably be encouraged.  Lots of young people in house shares who do not have a decent setup for working from home so totally aware of the different circumstances and scenarios.

Why doesn’t he sit in the car in the driveway for 45 mins and listen to the radio and save himself a fortune on petrol 😀

The weekly game of 5a side is one of the things I’ve missed most.

That’s a savage commute each day.

Weird response! Football being back is the big one for me too. I don't see the point in it not being back as it's an outdoor pursuit but sure nothing really surprises me anymore!

I agree it should be back pretty soon too as it’s good for people and it’s low risk.  My point is that there is no point in being pissed off about it.  I haven’t been able to play 5 a side in about 13 years after playing it twice a week for all of my 20s.  You miss it at first but then you can move on as in real terms it’s not that important. 

I look forward to cancer screening returning and people being able to return to work and the elderly seeing their grand kids they have never seen etc.  In the hierarchy of things that’s what’s important.  5 a side is not that big but it is fun.

I played my first game of 5 a side in 6 months on Wednesday night, everyone's fitness was beyond awful. The last 20 minutes of the hour were fellas walking around having no energy, even with the ball. It'll take a while to get up to speed!
