RE: Turtle or hummingbird?

My Zoom has been screeching to a halt (perhaps I am a Screech Owl?) every single class this term. 5 times/5 lectures Zoom has frozen on me, requiring a forced quit during lecture. Last year, this did not happen one single time. Has this been happening to others? (I realize most people are teaching in person, but we are teaching all of our large classes online – with in-person tutorials – and so really need Zoom to work better than this!)

Screech,

Nancy

I think the poster has been around for a while. I’m not sure when I first saw it. It certainly looks a bit optimistic now ( "starting to put the pandemic behind us”) and I’m not quite sure what the message is. Consider others, I guess. And, of course, the relative speeds are completely wrong (if you ever saw a hummingbird).

Anyone else seen this new poster on campus (apparently brought to you by your "respectful and kind" BC government)? Sea turtle, elk, or hare, which one are you?

Glad to see that we're "starting to put the pandemic behind us". Or "some of us" are, anyway.
