So more cars on the road, more chance of crashes, more social interaction at fuel stations.

Yeah we got told by work they’d rather us not carpool anymore. Gone from 2 cars to 5. Roughly 150km round trip. Upside is I’m slowly getting through the backlog of podcasts but other than that I think it’s a bit ridiculous.

Then get to work & sit in the same room for our prestart meetings, just distanced more than usual.

Can’t really complain as at least I still have a job to go to. I do feel for the huge list that don’t anymore.

I'm glad I have a job too. I still think it's stupid we have to use individual work cars then when we arrive at the work location we get out of our separate cars and sit 2 metres apart for 8+ hours in an enclosed space. I'm sure we wouldn't have enough work cars for everyone so I guess we will start hitting up car rental agencies to get some more cars.
Keeps the highway patrol happy though and that's all that matters. Screw common sense based on individual circumstances.
