Wildcard entry #JuneEdTechChallenge

So, we’ve been given a wildcard entry for Day 15 of the JuneEdTechChallenge. Halfway through, and we can choose what to tweet/write. I choose ‘the most overused word at the moment?’

In case you haven’t noticed things have been a bit ‘wonky’ over the last 14-15 months, this thing called Covid-19 has impacted nearly everyone in the planet and, in some small way, me too. I’ve written a bit about my lockdown experiences using the ‘lockdown’ tag on this blog, and a fair few tweets and LinkedIn updates have related to lockdown, remote/working-from-home/working-at-home, or return to office working.

The most annoying word I hear in the news, on Twitter, through emails, and in conversation is ‘normal’, and the drive to somehow return to it. It’s as though we’ve somehow forgotten that pre-lockdown we used to complain about workload volume, email burnout, meeting overload, and general tiredness and the possible impact our working loves were having on our personal lives, relationships, and wellbeing.
