When the fun stops, STOP.
OK reasons to be cheerful!
1. You are living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, you and yours are very unlikely to starve or be homeless.
2. Your medical care is free at point of use, most other countries charge. Most American bankruptcies are because of healthcare charges.
3. Education before degree is free and not government restricted by gender, religion or class. Despite the whining its quite good.
4. The weather is actually fairly stable few major earthquakes or lethal hurricanes in Scunthorpe.
5. Whilst Bojo seems to be maximising Covid etc deaths you have a far lower chance of dying from it than in most LDCs.
6. You are apparently in the top 20 earners so will be able to fund a far nicer lifestyle than most. I never have to think 'can I afford that' for normal purchases, previously I did and it is a big change.
7. You have an interesting job in a comfortable environment (compared to plucking chickens or cleaning loos).
8. You & yours are in relative good health. Most activities can be completed.
9. Whilst international travel may be curtailed its likely that will be for a short time and it will result in cheap trips immediately after.
10. you have the companionship of CUK![]()

Oh FFS. Last night, just as I was going to bed, my broadband connection went down for a minute or so then came back up. Now I find that my IP address, which has remained the same for years, has changed
This means I now have to go through all kinds of Security Groups on AWS that are closed down to my IP address, changing them all, not to mention updating config files on various servers![]()
+1 - he's a lead so can do all the work - you just need to emphasis that you haven't got time to support him so if he needs any help it's going to impact your other work. Also point out that while it's great that the work has been outsourced its just an additional dependency on the project and will need everything to be delivered well before the final deadline date.
And you leave it there then settle down to watch the car crash.
