I was in school so when that was put on hold I essentially played video games like it was a job. I remember vividly playing Grand Theft Auto IV in one sitting for the Liberty City Minute achievement and I’m pretty sure I played through Master Chief Collection.
Do you look back on any aspects of it nostalgically?
The day before the first day of work from home I got fired from my engineering job at an oil company. Soon after I smoked weed occasionally for the first time in years after having received random drug tests. Unemployment extensions were nice too!
I bought a big laser cutter and started making art. Spent more time helping out at the local artist collective sprucing things up.
Eventually I got hooked up with a cool LED art installation company helping them install their projects as a freelancer. Now I’m full time with them!
It’s lower pay than the oil company but it is so much more rewarding, interesting, cooler people, better work/life balance. Overall the pandemic was fun times for me personally.
Nice! Got any photos of art you made with the laser cutter?
