Pledge… spend a load of money on stuff I don’t need next Friday at UK Games Expo (only pledge I ever stand a chance of completing).

I’m a postman. Working from home not really practical…

However, for the first six months of covid I was not allowed to share a van with anyone and I can’t drive. So the daily ritual was walk a mile to work. Prepare my duty. Walk home. Wait for someone to drop the mail at my house. Load a trolley. Walk half a mile to delivery. Deliver mail. Repeat until all mail delivered.

It wasn’t too bad to be honest. Just put my headphones on and work alone. It was quite funny watching terrified people pointing at the step so I’d leave the parcel there as they were scared to open the door because of ‘the plague’. My experience of covid was weird. No time off work and no one at work passed covid to any work colleague giving the impression it was less contagious than the pandemic politicians had us believe.

Several of my friends had six months off on full pay and are still working from home 3 or 4 days a week.
