halfpint Sep 2020 10:41am, 15 Sep 2020 32,412 posts	Quote Pin halfpint I have successfully set up 6 Jamboards, 6 separate meeting links, assigned colleagues to 6 groups correspnding to a meeting link, assigned other colleagues a jamboard and 2 groups to facilitate an activity. I have communicated all of this in tables with links and created an idiots guide for those colleagues who will still not have a scooby what they are doing. I actually quite enjoyed the whole process. That said it is basically just yet another 'graffiti board' activity which we do all the f*cking time.

PaulaMc Sep 2020 12:54pm, 15 Sep 2020 9,758 posts	Quote Pin PaulaMc I cooked sausages yesterday and there were some left over. I put them in the fridge and told Son2 he could have them today. He said he didn’t think he’d want them. I just went to the fridge to have one and they are all gone. I am irrationally irritated by this.
