It wasn't all that long ago that the world was going through a very frightening pandemic, with stores, restaurants, and offices shutting down for our health and safety, and although those dark days are behind us, there are still some ways the pandemic changed our world forever, in ways that are surprisingly positive, considering the circumstances. A large section of the workforce still works from home, enjoying the no-pants lifestyle we grew accustomed to, online shoppers fill our grocery orders and bring them out to our waiting cars, and drive-in theaters are experiencing a resurgence in interest.
