Day 194: A big multi-task
Sep. 24th, 2020 11:10 pmTonight's book club meeting was totally on Zoom - and at the same time as our symphony conductor's watch party, where I'm one of the regulars. I was especially looking forward to the watch party, as we were going to learn a bunch about the beginning of Beethoven's first symphony, which I'd listened to several times this week. I wanted to do both!
So I figured it out. If I wore headphones, I could listen to both events at once, without the book club picking up the Beethoven talk on the microphone. The Beethoven talk was on Facebook video, so all I needed to do to participate was type comments and listen for the answers, and I could watch it again later to make sure I got all the content. And it worked fine! I don't think I'd like to do it that way regularly though.
Also today I drove D. to the clinic for his allergy shot, and while he was there I went to my mom's bank to work on setting up an account for that Wells Fargo money to come to. I think it will take several days.
