The change to working from home has also made it interestingly clear how many jobs cannot be done remotely, or not for very long. They're not all low-paid or low-skilled.

No, they're not. Which makes my search more difficult. Not impossible, but more difficult.

I mostly make prettycharts and reports for a factory. Theoretically easy to do remotely. But I need to actually look at the equipment or parts that are causing problems so I can investigate properly. When I was stuck at home, I had to get people to crawl around inside machines and send me cellphone pictures for me.

This is actually the sort of thing that Virtual Reality + drones is ideal for. A thought that occurred to me several years ago while touring a disused (built but never commissioned) nuclear power plant.

I gave up trying to compromise many years ago.

Why the hell should I hurt myself any more? :o(
