28 May 2019: Major technical difficulties for the first few rounds of trivia tonight.. Long story short, the projector wasn't working so we couldn't show the questions. The actual cause and whole story is too complicated (and boring) to explain, but for a while, it was so freaking stressful. Oh, and my cellphone battery was dying as I tried to get tech support from the guy who writes the game/runs the trivia company. And the AC was out in the restaurant, too, so you know that really helped with the overall vibe.
But at some point I was just like, "Okay. We'll just read the questions out loud and do our best." And we did and it was okay. It felt good to just decide not to freak out about it and just do our best. It was enough. Sometimes it's worth remembering that. And our teams were kind, understanding, and gracious. They got it. So it was okay.
(By Round 4, tech support showed up in person and fixed things, which was great.)
