You know, I can kind of understand the sudden flood of invitations to virtual events from retail outlets. It's a little slimy, because impulse buying is probably at an all-time and alarming high right now, but it's also true that retail is losing /normal/ sales and traffic right now. And they don't know that I'm hella busy. I mean, a lot of people aren't! So I don't mind them as much.
But the ed-tech companies who are circling in like vultures who see a tasty corpse, filling my inbox with breathless "opportunities"... them I'm keeping a shit list of. Those are the companies that I will cold-shoulder so very hard, when we're done with this, because I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW, FUCK OFF, I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO 4000 INSTRUCTORS THAT CANVAS WILL GRADE QUIZ QUESTIONS AUTOMATICALLY, DIE IN A FIRE MEDIASITE. They know exactly how busy instructional design and ed-tech support is right now. They are on the Fiber 500 Platinum shit list.
