This is what the reader Olya wrote to us:
I live in Finland, and now it’s very sad for me that because of the closure of the borders I can’t see my parents and friends for so long. But then everything has become perfect at work-now there are no awkward coffee breaks, on which no one is talking to me, and most importantly-you can work lying down! I don’t know how I can return to the office after my sofa.
