Administrative Assistants' Day 2020
8/4/2020
Administrative Assistants’ Day is usually a day for flowers & cards, cookies & other goodies in the break room, and colleagues going out of their way to recognize us admins on our special day. This year, I reached out to see how my fellow admins were doing. Here’s one email exchange. I omitted their response to respect their privacy. At this point, Chicago was still shut down. We were hopeful we’d return to campus in June. Now there seems no end to working from home.
Wed 4/22/2020 12:00 PM
Yes, it’s rough working from home. I’m lonely for non-virtual human connection. I’m busier than ever. but I’m happy to not be filing for unemployment. Counting my blessings every day. Trying to focus on the present day helps.
So far, the worst week for me was when (a colleague’s) parents were sick and died. I had JUST seen them at a big party in February. Heartbreaking.
Sorry about the golf. Some people I know are crossing the border to play in Indiana. Not the same as a league. I remain in deep mourning about ice skating. My coach is challenging us to make ‘movement videos’ as off-ice training. Hilarity ensues! I’m doing a lot of yoga, some of it on YouTube or Zoom. Bicycling, running the stairs in my building, and of course, walks on the beach with a mask and 6 ft away from people.

How to Say Goodbye
How did I get here? Rome is deserted and empty and I’m stuck on an air mattress in the guest bedroom of my parents’ house surrounded by boxes of childhood memorabilia and my dad’s winter clothes. Looking at these desolate Roman landmarks on my laptop, I find myself relating to them in ways I never would’ve imagined. We are all disappointed, lonely, and bored. I miss those places, just as they probably miss their visitors. They’re used to days filled with tourists travelling from all over the world, waiting in lines and checking off their bucket lists. Now, we view them longingly from our computers instead.
On my last night in Rome, my friends and I couldn’t bear to stay on campus. We made noble plans to wander around all night and watch the sun rise over the Colosseum, but we soon settled for a trip to our favorite bar and one last drunken walk through the city instead. We stopped at Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. We said goodbye to the memories we made there and the ones we never got the chance to make. It was both eerie and breathtaking to see those spaces in such a vulnerable state. Each landmark was bare and quiet, just as we know them to look today. My friends and I walked alone through the streets of Rome together one last time. No tourists, no sunshine, no cameras. As I cried looking in awe at the Trevi fountain’s piercing blue water glistening through the darkness of the night, I felt Rome’s presence hovering over me more than ever before. There was a bittersweet heaviness to it that I couldn’t place. Looking back, I wonder if it was because the city was mourning along with us. Maybe that weight was Rome helping us figure out how to say goodbye.
Yes, it is initially jarring and upsetting to see Rome so empty and barren. It hurts today to feel so far away from where I should be. But I find a strange comfort in seeing those places look just like they did on my last night in Rome. Even in the quiet of the night, Rome stands tall, proud of its history and aware of its beauty. Those buildings are older and wiser than I’ll ever be. They have survived countless acts of terrorism, pandemics, and natural disasters, and still live to tell the tale. That final night taught me a lot about Rome that I had never noticed before. When the tourists head back to their hotels and the moon passes over the eternal city, everything is still there for those that need it. Before then, I had only seen those monuments filled to the brim with people in the daytime. I thought that was when Rome was in its prime. But in the nighttime, everything is just as we left it. Even in complete stillness, Rome has a beautiful story to tell. It is waiting to comfort those looking for clarity or understanding. Rome is not as scared of emptiness as we are. Most of all, it reminds us that after the hush of the night comes the sunshine and the familiarity of a new day. It is hard to see Rome empty now, but that’s how it looks each night when the city goes to sleep anyway. Someday soon, we will all wake up from this fever dream to some sense of returned normalcy. Rome will welcome back its visitors, both the eager tourist and night owl alike, with open arms. Until then, we watch Rome from our bedrooms on our computers, dreaming of what could’ve been and longing for what’s to come.

I teach writing at Loyola and I write a column about art for Visual Art Source, except now all the museums and galleries I usually write about are closed. This is an essay about finding aesthetic pleasure and meaning during lockdown.
Yellow:
Musings of an Art Writer in the Absence of Museums
Not long ago, in the carefree age before lockdown, I was killing time at a Wal-Mart, waiting for my oil to be changed, when I began to feel a weird sensation. Joy?
I’m standing in the checkout line when I notice the man in the next line wearing all yellow, in all different shades. A fez-like hat the color of ripe mango leads my eye to his nubby ochre jacket, which is slashed by the strap of a pale lemonade cross body bag that flops against billowing egg yolk-hued pants that would look well on a circus performer. The woman he’s with sports pointy-toed yellow shoes, the cashier, a mustard colored shirt under a neon yellow vest. A daffodil purse dangles from the arm of the woman in front of me and on the conveyor belt between us lies my prize, an 89-cent notebook covered in pure primary yellow. It feels like a sign, but of what?
I exit the store feeling a little high and am nearly flattened by a semi with a bright red cab, towing a long orange truck. That’s not so strange but, as if in a dream, there are no words on the truck. No logos, no ads, no messages, no pictures. Just rust, and color. After all that yellow, orange is an amazement. At home I try to write it down. This feeling is what I go to museums for, though it often doesn’t happen.
Now, museums aren’t an option. My last museum visit was on March 6, when I saw Vaginal Davis’ video installation, The White to Be Angry, at the Art Institute of Chicago, then topped it off with the opening of the El Greco exhibition. The experience of seeing these shows back-to-back was like eating an overly rich meal with too many courses, delicious but hyper stimulating almost to the point of nausea. Profane and scared thrills scraped against each other, frothing up passion high and low. Still, it was fun to think about and I’d planned to go back. Now the museum is closed indefinitely as is every other art venue in my city and state and, probably soon, the country. I could look at El Greco online but I think I won’t.
I’m looking at other things now, or looking for things to look at. Frankly, I’m enjoying the break. I’m resting my eyes, as the WGN TV puppet Beauregard Burnside the Third used to say when he was caught napping. If my last museum experience was a feast, this feels like a fast. At first you’re hungry, then you’re not. When you start eating again, things taste better and whatever doesn’t, you’re happy to relinquish. I’m wondering what I’ll crave when museums and galleries reopen.
I’m accepting visual pleasure as it comes to me, like Wal-Mart yellow. Nature, food, the daily fashion show that is Dr. Deborah Birx’s parade of elegant scarves – these present a steady stream of visual pleasure. There are other, smaller things, too. In the past week I have been the beneficiary of two small art gifts.
A chalk drawing appears in our driveway, a greeting from a neighbor child. A few days later, another drawing, from another small girl, is delivered to my sister’s front door. My sister lives alone. She has schizophrenia. A caregiver goes weekdays but I’m there on Sundays. Last Sunday she told me to lift the virus up and let people out of their sickbay beds and when I ask how I should do that she says, “By having fun.”
We’re eating lunch when the doorbell rings. A little girl stands at the bottom of the steps holding a lumpy envelope that contains an ornament with a suction cup for attaching it to a window and an aggressively crayoned drawing of a gate-like rainbow on pink paper. The rainbow, which is not pale or pastel or feminine or neat and looks more like a forest fire than a rainbow, surrounds a note. Hi. My name is Emily. I live across the street and I always wondered who you are.
I always wondered who you are. It really says that.
Lately I’m thinking about art differently, not feeling so overstuffed and jaded. I’m still thinking about El Greco but I’m also I’m thinking of yellow and the red and orange rectangles that almost turned me into one. I’m thinking of chalk drawings on cracked cement and how, in the pictures I took of them with my phone, they look like cave paintings and thinking that everyone draws, not just “artists.” I’m thinking of Emily’s William Blake-ian rainbow and her carefully worded message to my sister: I always wondered who you are. Don’t we all wonder that? Oddly, social isolation may offer a chance to find out.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC EXPERIENCES
Hello, fellow Arrupe peers and staff I just wanted to share my experience with you all about the challenges that I have faced as we are still on lock down. I have been dealing with my sleeping schedule I have been thrown off with getting up early as I normally do, I have started to use my alarm clock but with the thought of not having to get up extra early to make it to class it has put me in a position where I wont get up really. I have gained weight all I do is eat and watch tv and do my work online. The online classes are not hard at all I find it very easy because its in the comfort of my own home and I really don’t have to deal with others while traveling to school. Everything around me are open early and close early so if there are things that I need I don’t have time to go get them because I want to be active in class and with my sleeping schedule being off I tend to forget to get up early. The Arrupe staff and peers have been super helpful with this transition and I am glad that we have a great team full of hard working over achievers.

This is an Acrostic poem I had the chance to write for my interpreting literature class.
Jorge Escobar
March 20, 2020
Remember his Name and Act
COVID -19 and Coronavirus are what he is called!
Observing every corner in my house to the last line
Resting, logging onto class, and repeat all over again
Online classes are now required and seem normal since zoom is what he offers
Now he also makes us keep a social distance of at least 6 feet
Ahhhh it has only been a week!
Valuable learning time on Zoom has not been lost
I plan to keep myself sane and pray my anxiety does not test me
Reminding myself to stay on task is what lets me forget about him
Unfortunately he’s made me stay at home with my mother and sister
Should this crisis get worst? How will we survive!
Quiet! did someone just sneeze? Or did they just cough?
Unified we should stay, at least through social media
Answers he needs to provide! causing me to focus on COVIDS latest updates
Research yet to be discovered, medicine yet to be discovered
Are you sure you did not hear that cough or sneeze ?
Need to go outside, try it and he will catch you. You’ll see!
Testing your boredom is his latest challenge
I have become a tik toker, youtuber and even a full time instagrammer
Need some outside fresh air? He’s so rude for not letting us breathe it
Exercise what’s that, I need to be zooming instead of lifting
Experts suggest sanitation, avoiding humans, and fashionably wearing a facemask
Directly from channel 5 I’ve heard about his increasingly bad behavior
Universally in other countries he’s disrupted their lives as well, so you’re not alone.
Coronavirus remember him, he’s annoyingly still around!
As the number of bodies, he enters the more I am frightened
Today is March 20th and I feel drained, it’s only been a week!
I can only abide from his rules and hope he disappears soon.
Only staying inside is the solution, will I soon become an introvert?
Now let me calm down and keep this poem going…
Alexa! When will the world go back to normal? *Responds Hmm I don’t know that.
Let us remember COVID-19’s act… and most importantly try to avoid him!

Life during Quarantine has been difficult yet refreshing. I would say it is refreshing because this is a time where you could really focus on your self and getting your life to where you want it to be. For example, during the pandemic I am starting to exercise and I am looking into how I want my future career to be. Also, I think this is a good time to connect with your family. On the contrary, it is difficult because you have to be extremely cautious of your surrounding. You cannot be around a lot of your friends and you can't do certain activities that you normally would do. During this time, a lot of resources are put on hold or are unavailable due to this virus and this could be a problem for a lot of people because they cannot get the things that they need in order to progress and/or learn more.
