A short recap of a superbly ironic email correspondence:

This had to do with workshops concerning the “redevelopment”  (improvement!) of our suburb. All residents were invited to participate.

Hi, sorry I can’t attend because we have no car and are mobility challenged! This should’ve been on Zoom!

Dear Mrs. Presner,

Thank you for letting us know. Unfortunately, these workshops cannot be done on Zoom as they are interactive. The people who attend are actually “working” on maps, etc.

Have a lovely day.

Hi Helen,

Thanks for your quick reply. Please take note that our emails highlight the great IRONY: the workshop is billed as “Mobility & Connectivity” – yet I can’t get there, and can’t connect.

Cheers.
