The Breakroom.

In these uncertain times, there’s a meme for everything.

Who doesn’t love a nature show?!

When the stars align on your company-wide virtual happy hour. Or, you know, the Zoom boxes of each person’s face (or dog). 

One of our PMs has (fittingly) come up with a new way to track time. Cheers to that. (This is actually an image from Daniel Tosh, but we like the way he’s thinking.)

We are loving this incredibly moving ad from Uber. A smart, timely sentiment.

John Mayer & Leon Bridges are still finding ways to make music together, from a responsible social distance. Proceeds from purchasing the track benefit MusiCares. What a tune!

For every $1,000 raised, Bucket Listers will arrange a delivery order from a local restaurant to a local hospital. How it works: -You donate any amount. $12 should cover one meal for one hero. -We coordinate directly with a hospital staff member for a safe drop-off at a convenient time (please reach out if this is you! [email protected]) -We pay full price to support a local restaurant -We tip $100 to our delivery driver -We keep going as long as the donations do

We love how our clients are supporting their communities. We’re all in this together.

A great way for Chicagoans to support our local community? Sponsoring local establishments who in turn are supporting our amazing community of healthcare workers on the front lines. 

While these memes featuring Chicago’s mayor have brightened our collective spirits, we’re especially thankful for our elected officials, who are working hard to keep us safe.

You'll never look at N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton cover the same way again.

John Krasinski, one of our favorite actors from The Office, has started a YouTube channel that’s strictly for good news only. 

Last night I found myself in my kitchen into the late hours of the night. I was with my 2 roommates, who by the way were “randoms” when I moved in last August, so we aren’t past friends or anything.

We spent time coloring, baking cookies, sharing stories, laughing, and learning things about one another that typical surface-level conversation would never scratch. 

When the activities were over the conversations kept on. 

We stood huddled around the counters clutching mugs of hot tea. I remember thinking the setting felt comfortingly familiar, like the deep talks you have in the kitchen with your cousins after Thanksgiving dinner. And it occurred to me this morning that we did not once talk about the virus. 

We just talked.

And it also occurred to me that, more than likely, my roommates and I would not have taken the time to do that—just talk—if not for the virus. 

Now I’m thinking about ALL the stories I’ve heard just like this, where our current situation presented a new opportunity to gather or learn or create. So what if we changed the conversation? What if we all started highlighting these moments, rather than our limitations?
