In a period of high unemployment and great risks with some in-person work, being able to connect remotely is a privilege. But it’s not always without its problems. That was the inspiration for this Typewriter Rodeo poem.
Work Meetings in the Time of Coronavirus
Let’s dive in on our agenda
Just pretend we’re all together
like normal
It’s great to see your faces again
Judith, love the painting behind you!
Ben, maybe make your bed before our next call
Or
you know
try one of those virtual backgrounds
Oh great, the Death Star is an
improvement
First item – a check in from Marketing
Can everyone mute yourselves?
Mute?
Click mute?
I think
I’m definitely hearing someone
crunching chips
Please
mute?
You know what,
let’s call this a success
I loved seeing your cats
And appreciate no one standing up
Because I know you’re all wearing
pajama pants
Let’s try again Monday
Go team!
