@edsuom Maybe it's because I'm a misanthrope at heart but I've rather welcomed some (not all) of the changes.
I have a hearing disability and do NOT miss having to eat in restaurants, bars, concerts, etc and be unable to hear anything properly. It's been a relief to not have to subject myself to those experiences.
I appreciate how the shift to doing more socializing online has brought me closer to friends who don't live in the same city as me. I remember how I felt disconnected from them and how I missed them, and now I don't 
I don't miss getting colds or the flu!
I appreciate how much more streamlined it is to work from home now! I remember how hard it was to set up videocalls for meetings pre-pandemic and how much resistance there was to that, and nowadays it's a pretty smooth process to set that up.
I'm ambivalent about working from home -- I like having my cat cuddling me while I work, but I was more productive in the office for some tasks since I had fewer distractions there.
