My name is David from England. I live in Nottingham but was born in Newcastle upon Tyne.

I have been using Zoom to follow Workers Educational Association courses (Creative Writing, History, popular Science topics) and similar things on University of the Third Age. I am retired but previously worked in Social Work as well as about fifteen years in total on the railway.

I have found the U3A invaluable for not only learning resources but also social groups such as the walking groups and periodic meetings for drinks etc in this area.

Why did I join the community? Zoom is a good tool but I am little bit disappointed of it not being compatible with Mac computers, too much glitches. I want to sort this out and let the community know. Overall I love zoom.

[S_K]

Hi All!

I'm Sheila (aka: the other Sheila K). 😁  I've been working remotely since long before the pandemic. I'm an INFP/J (depends on the day) and prefer solitude with occasional social gatherings so this workstyle is perfect for me!

Location: Denver, CO 

Favorite things to do: Photography, travel, journal, and make spreadsheets for everything! It's a problem. 

How long I’ve been using Zoom? A year and change perhaps. 

What’s your go-to virtual background? Lately, it's been a bookcase wall full of old leather bound books or any of my own photos. It's hard to find backdrops that make it look like you're actually sitting in a corner office with floor-to-ceiling windows and a fabulous view.

​​What's the most unique Zoom event you've attended in the last year? A party with virtual games. 

I look forward to many years at Zoom!

Cheers!
