Curses, like chickens, come home to roost.” – Susanna Moodie, Life in Canada, 1852
Like many of you, I have watched our world and my world change and plunge into chaos. I set a goal this year to write one blog post per week. Coronavirus blew a big hole in that goal.
Not because I have it, at least not yet. But because, like many of you, I have been all too consumed with worry, fear, and planning. Worry I’ll get it. Fear it will be debilitating. Fear I will not survive. Planning how to wash my hands and disinfect surfaces and in what order.
But beyond that, I frankly have had trouble coming up with anything that seemed important or relevant to say given the crisis we are in. This blog has always been about technology and innovation, yet everyone is writing about how to work remotely. What tech to use. How to virtually manage a law firm. And even why and how to market at a time of crisis.
A post on what the latest EW survey shows (which I was working on when the shit hit the fan) is not of much consequence given the circumstances
I’m not sure I have much to add. I’m not even sure how important these things are right now. A post on what the latest EW survey shows (which I was working on when the shit hit the fan) is not of much consequence given the circumstances. So, I’ve been quiet.
But a recent Tweet by my good friend Cat Moon and an article by Phillip Bantz in Law.Com’s Corporate Counsel talking about that comment sort of hit home with me and helped me see an important point. (Cat always tells it like it is).
