Virtual Meetings

I’m getting into the groove of them. The daily meetings with my management team are brisk and efficient thanks to the 40 minute time limit for free Zoom. Also, we are talking so often that we don’t need much more time. I am enjoying my virtual hangouts with friends too. I managed about an hour tonight, even though I had to keep responding to emails (I am starting to hate email). The work meetings are going much better than the bingo card would suggest, though we certainly have some of those problems. The hangouts are much more prone to the dog and kid problems, but it’s all part of the fun. I am continuing to make slow progress on my mittens; they might even be ready for next year, if this enforced isolation goes on long enough.

I volunteered to do an emergency IT rescue tonight - driving a loaner laptop an hour out of town for someone whose home computer had broken. It meant no going for a walk, but I did have the compensation of seeing a deer and some lovely countryside. I also saw every electrical sign along the highway lit up with “Prevent COVID-19. STAY HOME” an gas at $0.609 a litre. That is the lowest price in two decades, at least.
