It's National Trivia Day, so I decided to list out trivia facts & post them every 30 minutes. Looks like I'll be working til 9 pm tonight because of all the fun facts!!! 😂😂😂😂

I called my credit card today to change my address while running errands. They REALLY wanted to give me a new card. Did you get the new card? No! No new card - just change my address. I came home to the new card in my mailbox 🤦‍♀️

New house has a door (to the mudroom) with a doggie door. My cat just came in using the full human door.....

Anyone become filled with existential dread when "RSVP Deadline" is on their calendar for a mysterious Friday in November? When did I write this? Before the pandemic? What do I need to RSVP for? What is life?

Pandemic Woes: I'm eating dinner during a call because I've had 4 straight meetings. I turn my camera off when I take a bite because politeness. What are the odds I forget and turn my camera on just to take a giant bite of dinner? 🤞 #HasntHappenedYet 🤞

Why is my cat's favorite location between my face & the webinar screen?

@misajane79 I'm crying already!

#ProTip If you're hosting a webinar, and decide to turn off chat, folks are smart. They'll just flood the Q&A with their thoughts. I'm a little cranky, but it could be the #ZoomFatigue talking!

After one @ologies episode, I have deleted just short of 1,000 e-mails, and I know so much more about jellyfish venom #WinWin #JellyfishEmoji

37,593 e-mails. Let's do this!

An email I'm typing: "...it was so good to see you on the meeting yesterday..."
Grammarly: Don't you mean at the meeting?
No, Grammarly, I haven't seen anyone AT any meeting in over three months!!! #GetWithIt

@SlowlyBlinking Perhaps they mean bow-etry? Makes sense!

[Erin Shields @ErinShields02]

Add Owl to the list! A know-it-all who likes to hear himself talk.

#ControversialOpinion I'm reading The House at Pooh Corner, and Tigger is INSUFERABLE. He's a braggart and absolutely full of himself.

Does anyone else spend most of their time on virtual calls trying to find a "neutral" face? My cheekbones are working overtime!

[Erin Shields @ErinShields02]

I just put my first face-to-face meeting on my calendar, and I circled, underlined and highlighted "IRL". I still may forget! 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️🙈

My fingers just can't type 'museums' correctly, despite my career as a #MuseumEducator That was my personal burden until today when I had to type 'amusement' about 80 times. Yup - that also doesn't come out right! #ThankYouGrammarly

20 years from now, kids will hear "Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard" and TOTALLY think it was written during the COVID days. Oh, you want evidence?
"Goodbye Rosie, Queen of Corona"
"Mama, Pajama'd, rolled out of bed"
"I'm taking my time"

The last big National conference I was seriously trying to go to was scheduled for October 2017. In Puerto Rico. One week after Hurricane Maria.
Kinda figures that this year, I'm trying to go to another National Conference!

How to isolate an extrovert, a saga
Step 1: Go to work, but most everyone else is gone.
Step 2: Work from home, making punny jokes to the cats who don't respond
Step 3: Texting doesn't work from their home today!

In good news, I still have e-mail & Twitter, so watch out!
