Today I tried Zoom for the first time. My employers, unable to hold a traditional holiday luncheon, opted to have a company-wide Zoom meeting in its place. It was a large virtual gathering, consequently chaotic and hard to follow. My computer wasn’t really up to the task anyway, so I watched the important parts of the meeting and worked during the rest of it.
That was just as well. There was something I needed to finish by day’s end in order to start my Christmas vacation with a clear conscience, and I got that done while everyone else was still Zooming. So now I am officially on vacation, and I don’t need to go back to work until next year.
