We do games every so often. Online Scattergories, virtual scavenger hunt, online pictionary (gartic.io or skribbl.io), Code Names, Mafia, etc. In my bigger team meetings, we do a "question of the day" that everyone goes around answering. We rotate who has the question every week.

Yes, it usually happens in the afternoon and is a time when most people have a lunch-coffee break.

Not a "happy hour", and not regularly, but we try to get together on occasion to play games as a team. There are a lot of online games that are easily played over zoom, including the JackBox games.

Rarely attend ours anymore, leadership tries to mix work in with them and their monthly. If I do attend I usually bail as soon as they try to place into smaller groups with some type of task.

We have actual happy hours

We formed a little fun committee for virtual events. I had introduced virtual birthday celebrations for month end fun activity, where we celebrate our collegues' birthdays - ask fun questions about how they celebrated their birthdays, trivia for other members of the team guessing fun facts about the birthday girl/boy! This is running successfully since past 8 months or so. Usually the attendance is good as people join to be part of the celebrations and many stay longer to play the games too!

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Anyone with experience at Slack have opinions to share? Currently very interested in a specific role there, and would like to know more about what it's like to work there.

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?
