Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this can’t be fun

Yes. Finish it as quickly as possible. You cannot build teams via Zoom. You can maybe just sustain already well-functioning teams. (As so many of us are observing). But you’d annoy build new ones this way. So from the pretense. There is no Zoom “happy hour” or team activity that has actual impact.

Yes.



Don’t do it.

I did a virtual room escape game with a bunch of friends today and it was super fun. I’m not usually a huge fan of forced social activities with coworkers, but if I were doing one, a room escape game is something I can get excited about.

Jackbox.tv games. There’s one where you try to guess who the aliens are. A murder mystery game. And trivia. Quite interactive and allow you to let go. But they will cost money to buy.

Explain your favorite movie badly. For example, “dude hates that his sister and dad are into another guy “. Everyone writes an answer on a piece of paper (Gladiator), count to three, and everyone shows. Person who guesses right gets a point, if no one guesses correctly, the speaker gets the point. Everyone goes around once, person with the most points wins.

We did a scavenger hunt around the house that went pretty well. Teams of two, 10 minutes to look for household items and then spent the rest of the time sharing what we found and scoring.

Something like this sounds fun. It gets you away from the screen.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?
