VVQ Fail
All Davis Lake BackblastsApril 14th, 2020
We all remember our first virtual Q. The excitement, anticipation, tension, exhilaration, enthusiasm, optimism… When will it happen, who will be there, will it be good, will they like it… To no longer be labeled a VVQ.
Well – the time was set, workout gear laid out, beat down chosen and invite shared. Now, truth be told YHC ain’t no Zoom rookie, but the nerves of such a momentous event, the offering of ones VVQ, was clearly a distraction for which I was unprepared.
As I waited in my virtual meeting, watching the clock tick towards 6:30… no-one, 6:31… no-one. 6:32… I begin to contemplate if it will ever happen. Would I be left to workout on my own (make no mistake I would have)? Would it ever happen? Then a text, another text, Slack lights up… No worries – tech support was on call and @Snowsuit hooked us up with a working mtg, but by then many of the Pax and their wandering eyes had gone elsewhere, to another VQ, one more experienced, one who could handle many more men than even he anticipated. Who is this Stifler? The excitement came crashing down, the optimism became apprehension, the shame became real.
Eventually – we did get after it and got better for it.
