New on Finance Matters: We want to hear your stories!

It's been six months since we moved to remote work due to a national emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic.  We've had six months of Zoom meetings, homeschooling our kids, and juggling the demands of a changing situation, with a lot of stress and unpredictability folded in for good measure. 

The Finance Matters podcast team would like to hear from you on what you've learned about yourself, life, and work during our time in quarantine.  We're preparing a podcast in which we'll discuss the experience of working during the pandemic and share voices from our team and our colleagues (anyone who wants to participate is welcome!). 

LISTEN HERE!

Zoom makes it easier than ever to record your thoughts.  Just open up a session, hit record (either with video or without -- we'll only use the audio on the podcast), then send the file to bv8h@virginia.edu.  If you need any help, let Brandi Van Ormer know and she'll be happy to assist.  

Prefer to share your thoughts in writing?  Just email them to bv8h@virginia.edu

What we want to know:

• What have you learned about working remotely?
• How have you / your work habits changed during the pandemic?
• What has been challenging, and what has been rewarding?
• Have you learned any other new things during the past six months (i.e., have you picked up a new hobby, changed the way you prioritize your day, etc.)?
• What has been the most difficult thing about the past six months? 
• What has been most notable? 
• Any funny occurrences you'd like to share (like the time my daughter tried to cut my hair while I was on a Zoom call)?

Any and all of your thoughts are welcome.  Please send all content to bv8h@virginia.edu as soon as possible; we hope to publish this episode before the end of September!
