Brooklyn & Ahwatukee. May 2020
I was assembling a cherry bourbon pie from Sister Pie when my Mom called me in need of Zoom. She’s wants Zoom out of spite. Not to connect with other people.
The manager of the housing association in Ahwatukee Arizona is an idiot. Said property manager will not unmute my mother when she uses the dial-in option only so my mother wants Zoom in an attempt to override that constraint.
The next 10-15 minutes were spent on the phone together moving through together confusion about how to find Zoom and how to download and was it installing.
Success. No wait. It’s gone. It’s not. I helped her find the Zoom software and pin it to the Windows taskbar.
My parents are social distancing though Mom said Dad is bored and so he’s gone to the local YMCA to see if he’s comfortable with the setup enough to go back.
“Is that okay?” I ask.
“He mostly just does the treadmill. He’ll be fine.”
Will he? He will.
