I sat down to write today, because that\u2019s what I normally do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And with everything that\u2019s going on, my brain is like, \u201cnah. Let\u2019s not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So instead of any kind of brilliant marketing insight or pithy analysis, I have my latest boredom beater.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, a friend figured out \u201ccoronavirus\u201d has 5 syllables and went on a haiku bender.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, I joined her.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I did this week instead of working on stuff I should have been doing:
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Coffee and candy
\n<\/span>Are all I really live on
\n<\/span>Stupid Corona<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI worked from my home <\/span>
\n<\/span>Before all this crap happened <\/span>
\n<\/span>I’m still stir crazy<\/span><\/p>\n


\nMore coffee needed <\/span>
\n<\/span>Before I can deal with you <\/span>
\n<\/span>And do my job well<\/span><\/p>\n


\nMy cat thinks I’m God <\/span>
\n<\/span>Nothing much changed on that score <\/span>
\n<\/span>I’m home all the time<\/span><\/p>\n


\nStella loves my lap <\/span>
\n<\/span>But only during meetings
\n<\/span>With video on<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI coughed on a plane
\n<\/span>Last month in San Diego
\n<\/span>Almost got beat up<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThat cough on the plane?
\n<\/span>Water went down the wrong pipe
\n<\/span>Didn’t matter much<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI don’t go out much
\n<\/span>But now I can go nowhere
\n<\/span>Cabin fever sucks<\/span><\/p>\n


\nHow can I distract
\n<\/b>My partner on his meetings?
\n<\/b>Payback is a bitch<\/b><\/p>\n


\nCoffee tastes so good
\n<\/span>Irish tastes even better
\n<\/span>Day drinking is fun<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI’m a total pro
\n<\/span>I’ve got work PJs and
\n<\/span>regular ones too<\/span><\/p>\n


\nWhatever you do
\n<\/b>Don’t forget to mute yourself
\n<\/b>During bathroom trips<\/b><\/p>\n


\nLearn from my mistakes
\n<\/span>Turn on video after
\n<\/span>You join any call<\/span><\/p>\n


\nBest investment yet
\n<\/span>Bluetooth headphones let me clean
\n<\/span>Which helps me listen<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI just realized
\n<\/span>I prefer meetings where I
\n<\/span>Can also play games<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI just now got it
\n<\/span>Dogs roll in the grass because
\n<\/span>Being inside sucks<\/span><\/p>\n


\nPizza really is
\n<\/span>the perfect food at any time
\n<\/span>get those mushrooms off<\/span><\/p>\n


\nAnd yes, I did have to count all the syllables on my fingers. Worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
