First experience with a day-long Zoom:

- 15 minutes of “how does this work? How do I mute my mic?”
- “How do I access that document?” (which was emailed in advance)
- Two hours in, someone is watching a video/playing music while someone else is talking
- 90-minute talk about COVID-19

I know there are far worse things happening in the world, but I wish governments (at all levels) would communicate with their staff and update their websites with the new policies before announcing them to the media.

It creates confusion and frustration when people call to ask questions, and the response is, "I don't know either."

I field phone calls about it, and I have to say, "I'm learning about it at the same time as you."

My new pet peeve: people who can’t distinguish between differing and deferring (related to mortgage payments.)

I wish I understood why people feel the need to micro-manage from a distance when things are going well. I am feeling quite fatigued today from it.

I wish I could control my frustration better when people don’t follow simple instructions. I internalize it, but still burns strong within me.

Enrolled for my continuing education program (online) thinking I’d be able to work through it next week. Nope. I have to wait a month to do the assignments. It’s 2020!

Should just use a service like Udemy to manage it.

I don’t understand people who tell you to do a thing, so you do the thing, but then tell you to not to do the thing after you’ve already done it.
