If you are on a team trying to finish a lot of deliverables, because the project is going to shut down. I bet it is the one who doesn’t do any work that is recommending a “fun” virtual happy hour.
Because after staring at my monitor for 12 hours straight. I really want to stare at my monitor during a virtual happy hour....

It is just okay - one person can talk at a time usually. Can’t have too many people talking over each other otherwise you have no idea what’s being said.

I miss the element of side convos - with 20 people on a zoom call you have to sort of keep to one large subject “what’s everyone watching on Netflix?” Or “anyone have a kitchen adventure ?” It’s like meh. Just okay.

We did a zoom trivia night and that was fun actually . I think it might be better to try and have an activity rather then just an forum of people talking one at a time about one thing at a time .

Honestly I think it’s a way for some people to drink without feeling bad about drinking alone 😒 on a random Wednesday night

So...
What to do? What to do?

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?

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously).

He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ?
