    I'm the asshole who makes everybody have a video meeting every other day. On the plus side, they're normally only 30 minutes long, and I actually don't mind if they don't show up - to be honest, the main reason I have them is to make sure everybody's OK, but I'm not going to tell them that 😁

    My boss has one once a week, which is bearable.

    My boss started every-other-day video chats with that very intention: check in on folks, see how everyone's doing, ask questions about whatever, vent if needed, etc. Just to keep up some degree of normalcy throughout all of this.

    That all went away with our new department head. So, stretching + X-Files it is. I'm on S4E6.

    Please love yourself.

      I'm doing 69 chords on the guitar. Not nearly as much fun as it sounds.

      I was only joking

        Careful about snapping that G string.

        There it is. That's the one joke. Now we can get back to whatever it was we were doing.

        Please love yourself.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              I'm going to quietly print out a picture of our CEO and hang it on my wall before the next meeting to see if anybody notices.

                Our most-awesome department head told my boss and I that discussing Romero films pre-meeting was unprofessional, so I keep changing my Zoom background to stills from the movies. No zombies in the stills, but half the team knows what I'm up to and they haven't ratted me out yet.

                I also keep asking earnestly before the meeting starts if what we're discussing is okay.

                Please love yourself.

                    Yeah, but not smart ones. Like, smart enough to notice I started using Zoom backgrounds but not at all smart enough to put 2 and 2 together. You wanna lose the one thing you care about as a control-freak manager and risk having a stroke? Keep it up, says I!

                    Please love yourself.
