EMAILING IN A PANDEMIA
Having odd dreams? Welcome to the fifth edition of our Editor's update series,
crows screeching,* There's just no way consumers can get away from digital media.
As we all adjust to the new realities of life and work,
As we navigate these uncertain times,
You can take this survey once a day.
We know that counting days of the week feels strange to many people now. (Weekend? What's that?)
Celebrate! Fridays, although temporarily altered, are still worthy of having some fun!
we’ve “replaced fear of the virus with a metaphoric element,”
Do you have a motto you like to live by? I like to sleep with background noise.
Editor’s Note: Poem inspired by Jessica Salfia
