Today is Tuesday. It’s March 31st. We’re a few days into Week 3 of house arrest. And it doesn’t look like this is ending anytime soon.
Every morning during our team check-in Zoom, we do a roundtable. A few days ago I started adding a new question to the update, in addition to each person’s focus for the day.
Yesterday I asked people to share the best thing they’d watched on TV over the weekend. At least thirty percent of my team said something about a Netflix show called Tiger King. They used words like wild and bizarre. I smiled and nodded in that way that one learns to do having grown up in the boondocks without cable. MTV? Yeah, like, totally.
Not knowing what they were talking about, I envisioned some fictional series that was half Game of Thrones and half Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I mention it to James and he tells me he watched the first episode the night before and I should catch-up so we can watch it together.
Here I was, innocently looking for something to take my mind off the stress of the global health crisis and economic meltdown.
Two episodes in, a sleepless night, and now I need something to distract me from the insanity that is the Tiger King.
