    Early November to mid January, working from 5pm to 6am, 5 days a week. I won’t be broke for a while, neat, but I was hurting all over.

      I don’t want to hate them, but how could I do anything but hate people who voted for the fascist nazi in charge of the US?

    In person: 2 and a half years. I have moved hemispheres.

    I suppose it will now be zero days as I am married and I see my wife every day.

    Back before I started working for myself, I often couldn’t get my job to approve time off, so I would go a whole week during the holidays when my wife and kids went to visit their grandmother. That’s not really a problem for me anymore though, since I write my own schedule.

    I usually go a minimum of 1 year before seeing any family member at all, maybe will see my uncle every few years or a sibling. I think the longest is about 10 years with my father and 15 now with my mother.

    I guess for me would be 3-4 months in covid lockdown, 2020. I live by myself in proximity to family, but some of that family were vulnerable so I wasn’t taking any chances. Not a nice time.

      Or about half a year if we’re only counting the time during which I’ve been alive.

    Depends on how you define family. Childhood family, going on 5 years and it’s gonna be longer.
