Yes, I'm in a similar position to you, I think, job-wise, and I've been reflecting on how fortunate I am really, in the circumstances, compared to a lot of other people in less secure positions. And yes, there's a lot of stuff like that going on at the moment, as regards Doing Something rather than actually planning properly. Without sharing any details, my employer has had problems with overseas teams, based in countries with much stricter quarantine regimes than we currently have, essentially being unable to work for the foreseeable future, with workload needing to be repatriated at a time when half our teams here are still trying to move over to working from home. It's a bit of a shambles, really.
I tend to think, as someone who most definitely did not vote for them, that the government are trying to do their best (now, after too much politically-motivated dithering), but the whole thing seems to have caught them on the hop and the dearth of talent in the upper echelons of our political class is more obvious than ever. And it's already been pretty obvious indeed these past few years. Hopefully those much-maligned "experts" are steering the ship as best they can now, despite the best efforts of the elected component.
Anyway, I'm really glad to hear from you. And I hope everything is going as well as it can for you. Best wishes until all of this is over, whenever that might be.
