14 Sad, Funny Jokes About The Reality Of Taking Days Off Work Now

A day off from work looks a lot different in 2020.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, taking a holiday could mean going on an exciting getaway or spending quality time visiting friends and family.

Days off from work look different now that travel and spending time with others indoors is discouraged. You should still take time off from work even if you have nowhere to go — spending quality time on your couch can be great — but it’s also OK to take stock of what this year has wrought.

Here are tweets and posts that sum up the strange, funny reality of what time off from work is like in 2020:

Planning to use vacation days with friends in 2019: “Want to take 2 weeks, leave the country, blackout and post thirst traps on Instagram?”

Planning to use vacation days with friends in 2020: “Want to take off Friday and go outside? I think it’s going to be sunny.”
