[APOCALYPSE]

Hey chummers

Popping in as it’s been a while. Seeing how all is doing. All good on my side. Still alive and kicking as well as the family.

Look forward to hear from those that still drop in here.

Hi there Apoc- busy year for you I'd imagine

Still in Japan?

[APOCALYPSE]

Hey Rootless

I actually moved back to the US about 10 years ago for various reasons.
I still go to Japan for my wife’s family and work reasons. But not in the last year due to Covid. No complaints as the travel worn me down a lot so been nice to have a routine for a change. How are things in your area?
It’s been a while so forgive my memory if wrong but you were in the EU, correct?

So very easily forgiven! Yes, I've in the EU area. And not in a country that's (more or less) left it, so that narrows things down a bit

Things are much the same as everywhere I guess. COVID keeps people inside, and I'm growing ever older :-/

[APOCALYPSE]

Great hint. I love it. I have a friend near Newcastle that I have know for a long time. We met in Japan and stay in contact still even after all these years.

It’s hate to say but a Covid had been great for me. I love having a regular eating and sleeping schedule while being able to recover my health. Plus spending all the time with my wife. Daughter is in third year in university now so she hasn’t visited home as often. We had our first Christmas without her this year but was able to have a virtual one. Sent her some presents beforehand and she opened them online together. It was still fun so feel we have adjusted well.
Hope nobody gets sick but we seem to be doing good so far.

I can totally relate to that!

Then you must be or was in a similar situation to me.

I too have benefited from COVID in the sense that I get to work from home, and work/life balance is much better (but maybe not so much since I work a lot)

I was like that at first but just made some boundaries little by little then now it’s been good. Do you think that you’ll have to return to the office at some point? Or permanent?
I think my company is still deciding what to do exactly.

Oooh, a dragon.  Hello, Apoc, you have depressed me no end telling us your kid is in Uni.  That means we've been coming to this pub far longer than I care to admit. 

Kids I knew who wore droopy diapers are now friggin Green Berets for frack's sake!!!

I think I'll go with the Lady Astor on this time thing, she refused to admit to older than 30ish even if it did make her kids illegitimate and/or impossible.  Not that birthdays are really a thing with me, I merely expect my nearest and dearest to supply one 'unbirthday' gift to me once a year, every year, date unimportant, as long as I get some swag at some point, every year. I'm nothing if not entirely reasonable

It’s still a bit surreal for us as we can’t believe sometimes how fast it has gone and to think starting back in the old Shadowrun Pub before Ingo created this space for us pubbers. Now that I have more time on my hands , then I’m hoping to continue to frequent the Pub more consistently than my once or twice a year drop by to say hi. Missed the gang and the convos so hope to keep the lights on in the Pub for as long as possible.

Excellent. I plan to stop by every once in a while too

If I don’t then I can count on my chummers to give me a swift kick in the rear.

Sure! But... Apoc, you're a fragging Dragon!
If I kinck your hoop too hard, my foot'll break, as likely as anything

Oooh, can I? I'd love to put dragon arse kicker on my résumé.
