With more of us working from home to stop the spread of coronavirus, many of us are finding ourselves navigating the uncharted waters of work video calls.
Whether it be on Zoom, Google Hangouts or Skype, video calling our colleagues while secretly wearing our pyjama pants has somehow become the new normal.
And while it’s a privilege to be able to work and conduct meetings from the comfort of our own homes, sometimes things can get pretty, well…awkward.
From barking dogs and loud neighbours to the rogue family member who walks in during that very important meeting with your boss, video calling comes with its own unique set of challenges.
Here’s how the different star signs are spending their time in isolation. Post continues after video.
So to make us feel better about our cringe-worthy video blunders (and give us a much-needed laugh), here are 23 of the best memes that perfectly sum up what it means to work from home right now.
Behold.
please email me a 3 days notice if you want to video call. lockdown doesn’t change my anxiety.

There’s nothing like the disappointment of putting on makeup for a videoconference to show you haven’t completely let yourself go while working from home, and it gets changed to a telecon ????♀️ #wfhfail

For video conference calls I have formal pyjamas. Otherwise during the day I mill around in standard tradesmen’s pyjamas.

Thread: Top tips for working from home: 1. You can wear the same pyjamas every day. Just top with a different scarf. 2. you don’t need to wear a bra. Just cross your arms when on a video call.
