Jayne ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's a good idea, JenP. I'm on zoom with people for a couple of hours most days, so that's probably enough for me, but if I wasn't I'd consider it.
It's a cold, drizzly, gray day here, today. So I have pot roast in the slow cooker and plans for mashed potatoes.
I don't want more Zoom in my life, but I do miss having my coworkers just kind of passively nearby where we can idly chat if so moved. Every interaction we have now - chat or email or zoom or whatever - is for a purpose, you know?

I miss casual interaction so much. There's a fair amount of chatter on our team Slack but it's not the same.
Yeah, we don't even have that. There is some sporadic chat happening but it's pretty sparse (or I am not invited to most of it, which is also possible)
Coincidentally, I just got a notice that we are switching our corporate phones to Zoom. Who knew Zoom had a phone system?
I generally miss casual chatter and interaction. And not-casual. Life is real boring and lonesome right now…
I plenty of chitchat and interaction on the work front, but am seriously people deprived on the personal front. I miss gatherings, dinners, parties, and hugs. DH gets a lot more people interaction with his coaching. I haven't been to any of his games. People, people in enclosed spaces! Some day.
Casual interactions with my neighbors and people at the store or whatever, also. At least I have here to natter in!
For some reason, I woke up this morning thinking I had no meetings scheduled today. I actually have two. Oops. At least I checked my calendar before I missed one. And neither one should require much input from me, I don't think.

That's why I cultivate conversational relationships with bartenders and comic book store clerks.

Most of my personal chitchat these days comes from fellow parents at dropoff/pickup. Except for this week, because I'm keeping Peanut home all week. David, thank you for the info about the kids at Matilda's school - that helped me feel better about my abundant caution.
(Of course, I have a metric ton of meetings/phone calls/work this week, so that's an "interesting" thing to balance, but at least I don't have the crushing anxiety bearing down on me.)
We do school drop off curbside from the car. I don’t know any of the other parents or kids except through the Facebook group. I hate it so much.
