Friday

We have a great overnight nurse and mom got the ok from cardiologist and gyno to go back on blood thinners 🙏🏻

If this mandatory meeting is just Canvas training I’m gonna feel frustrated.

This meeting is extremely dystopian. I feel like this is the beginning of dissolution of all in-person classes. I feel like this is going to do for universities what the 2008 financial crisis did for companies—get fewer people doing more work and then never go back to full staff again.

This is wild. Not really it’s very boring. I’m glad I’ve already made so much of my own online content and host my own online meetings regularly for my business. So glad to be an extremely online gen x content creator.

Provost says we have to sit 6 feet from each other which is impossible for the number of people currently in this room.

It is imperative that I find a way to sneak out of this meeting.

We have permission to change student learning outcomes 😱 from the syllabus

Panopto and Proctorio—recommended software

I snuck out

Just gonna get everything from my office bc idk we don’t know this yet but I’m anticipating complete campus shutdown for at least several weeks if not more.

Napped.

I didn’t get to sleep long but I feel a little better. Good mom update through we’re looking at a transfer to rehab early 🤞🏼 next week now.

They’re starting visitor screening at the hospital so next time I go in I’ll have to answer some questions and get my temp taken.

Ok I want to sleep forever but I’m also excited at the prospect of getting paid for the next three weeks to essentially do whatever I want, which is how I’m viewing this switch to online classes. So I’ll get up, take my afternoon adderall, have some tea and lunch, listen to the corona virus episode of the Jeffrey Epstein podcast, and set up the scanner.

This has been a hard week and I’m overwhelmed but also. Just gotta keep going.
