But when this is over, please stop wearing those toe shoes to work. It's kinda basic, but you're not trying too hard - and we respect it. Or you're just really hoping someone brings the subject up and you can talk about your trip to Iceland for longer than necessary. This says, 'Hey! I'm an outdoorsy person.' You miss fresh air and feeling the sand between your toes while bragging about how in touch with nature you are. You're hanging out on the tropical beach or conferencing under the Northern Lights.

Look at me! I'm on a tropical beach! Ha ha, just kidding everyone, just kidding. Like Buzzfeed quizzes, but with less Hogwarts. Much like the rooms you are trying to hide, your choice of background can say a lot about what kind of person you are. Gone are messy lounge rooms - enter endless opportunities for personal expression. Zoom has that fancy little feature that allows you to add virtual backgrounds to chats. The best part about Zoom, however, are the backgrounds.

Maybe you strike gold and get to meet a pet or an adorable baby. The chat rooms are little windows into everyone's lives, an exercise in voyeurism that can tell you a lot about the people you work with five days a week. For my co-workers and I, Zoom has been a wonderful gift in this isolating time. The coronavirus pandemic means more of us are working from home and fully dependent on video conferencing services for meetings. I've been spending a lot of time on Zoom recently.
