Yes.  I used to prefer to work late because by the time I got off traffic was nothing.  Pre covid every now and then I liked to get off early but it was rush hour and it took me twice as long to get home.  They changed the schedules the last year so there were no late shifts and when I got off at 4pm traffic was easy up until a few months ago because people were still working from home.  But not anymore now traffic is horrible again.  I'm used to the early shifts now and don't want to go back to the late nights and next month they will be even later, despite the traffic I decided to stick with the earlier shifts. I'll just have to hang around work until the traffic dies down.  I wish people were still working from home.

I volunteer at a soup kitchen and I've noticed more traffic as I commute.  Airports, hotels and restaurants are getting busier also and some people are glad but others not so much.

I think things are starting to go back to normal.  Where I live, things are open to full capacity and masks (if you have the shot) are not required.  Of course there is no way to know if people have the shots or not.  Kids have returned in the last month back to school.  People are also returning to work, few are still working at home.

I also really enjoyed working from home during covid and switched to freelance work.

Still not going to the office on a regular basis but I have been travelling more for work than I had been during the pandemic.

We just spent 10 days in New York City (Manhattan).  Because of covid we have put this trip off for almost 2 years.  Girls trip...we had a great time.  In New York you have to show your vaccination card, id and or a covid test less than 48 or 72 [I'm not sure] hours old to get in anywhere.  So we felt pretty comfortable.  We went to a concert (Dan + Shay), visited all the tourist attractions and had a great time.  They were also enforcing masks at airports, trains, buses too.   I feel like more states should enforce this as they were able to open everything back up and get back to work, school and play.
