How a strategist gets out the vote in the age of socialdistancing, while juggling back-to-back Zoom calls, online yoga classes — and a mouse in her kitchen.
Advertisementgo on a walk, and I pause a call with one of my staffers to remind him of what my doctor advised. It’s super-annoying, but because I’m recovering from an illness that puts me at higher risk for COVID-19, my doctor doesn’t want him to go into stores without a mask and gloves — and he has to wash his clothes and take a shower whenever he returns. He’s just going to stroll around the neighborhood, but will shower when he’s back to be extra safe.
6:15 p.m. — Put up an away message on Slack and roll out my yoga mat for a quick stretch. I’m usually bad about keeping up my yoga practice in an election year, but the commute from my kitchen table to my living room is short and I have no excuse to skip. 10am -- I order a gift card for each staff person to stock up on work-from-home supplies and snacks they need and realize my business partner and I need to touch base quickly about how to keep the company on track during this transition. Will we keep our office space? Will payroll run regularly? Do we have checks to cut to vendors that we should get out before mail slows? Should we still hire for our open position? .
3:30pm -- A producer reaches out to me to ask if I wanted to comment on my last Tweet . I explained it was a joke and I do not have actual data. Oops.7:30pm -- We can’t remember what we had for dinner last night or whose turn it is to cook. It’s only Tuesday, but the days are blurring together. We decide to cook some salmon that is on the verge of going bad. I cook the fish, my fiance does the rest. We both miss takeout.
5:30 pm -- Team check-in. We brainstorm for 10 minutes about a game we could play, but end up just talking about work we have to do.
