Y is for Year

This year for the A-to-Z Challenge, I'll be looking at major events that happened in 2020 [the year we would all like to forget, so let's look at it first, before flushing it down the toilet].

Welcome to Y!  We're looking at – Year.

Here we are, sprinting toward the finish line!

Yes, 2020 was definitely a year to remember.  Or conversely, one we'd all like to forget.  Let's not focus too much on the negative though.  Here's a list [okay, it's a short list] of the benefits we've learned and experienced in 2020:

1. People really can work from home and still be productive.
2. Zoom meetings are convenient and save so much travel time and expense.
3. Commutes in Los Angeles are much better when they're not 60+ minutes each way.

Here's a teaser for tomorrow, letter Z:

  1. It was very much of a virtual year, almost like a dream (nightmare) sequence. Something that was almost what you wished for, but not quite, with a side of horror

  2. Definitely a year that won't be forgotten as it will be in the history books forever, in the same way we still know about the Spanish Flu and the plague. I imagine remembering it was the year of the change to virtual work might be lost over time though.

    1. Something for us to look for in the coming years. Whether it's more accepted to work offsite.

  3. Yeah, the year ended! Well, the now one will be so different from everything before...

    1. I'm definitely looking forward to our "new normal". 2020 was not pleasant.
