    Man the “rather be planting corn at this point” is such a pandemic thought as well. I fantasize about working in a bookstore, buddies of mine think about owning a restaurant, driving public transport vehicles (2 people), repairing bikes, etc. One of my colleagues just actually did it, he quit his job and started to be a baker. Corporate scrum is killing us and all we want to do is work.

      driving public transport vehicles

      I retired (aka was laid off) from my job as a programmer, spent a few years converting a used school bus into a motorhome, and now I drive a real school bus. It’s insane how much happier I am, even though I make about a sixth of what I used to make and even though middle-schoolers really do suck as human beings. Money is certainly not everything.
