I have an interagency meeting I'm managing in an hour. Should I put on a tie?

[brooklynite]

Or pants?

1. Tie: yes

Pants: no

But make sure your undies match your tie, just in case. But maybe I shouldn't just assume you will be wearing undies?

2. A Jerry Garcia tie would be most appropriate.

Wouldn't worry about the pants.

[Brother Buzz]

3. Just drape the mirrors in the area and you're good to go

The tie is totally optional.

4. Pick a tie big enought to hide the margerhite stain on your t-shirt.

5. My new web cam backdrop, just need to cut a hole in it.

6. I always dress up for video-conferences...

Expensive shirt, black velvet coat, tasteful tie, freshly ironed slacks.

I also make sure to have a very clean and well stocked bookcase of important leather bound tomes in the background and a snifter of fine brandy at arm's reach.

But, mockery has always been an important part of my character.

I'd suggest a nice bolo tie if you have one, brooklynite.

7. I've decided to go with the tie (and pants...)

But I'm still wearing bedroom slippers.

[Hugin]

8. Extra points if they're bunny slippers.

[cwydro]

9. Good compromise!

I can’t remember where it was, but that news person who was caught with no pants still makes me laugh.

He handled it well too.

[brooklynite]

11. One thing I always do is use the camera app to see how I (and the background) look

[cwydro]

12. Good idea!

I really do like the slippers accessory though.

[lindysalsagal]

10. Loincloth.

Just to see if they're actually at their monitors....

[Victor_c3]

13. I forget if it's skype or FaceTime that lets you do this

You can use any picture on your phone as a background and the program will automatically put just your body in it, like blue screen.

Get an over-the-top fancy office picture and use it as a background. Or better yet, use a picture of the Oval Office.

14. More importantly, do you let your cats join the video conference?

Since they will want all the attention, this is a very serious consideration!

Cats Everywhere Are Crashing Zoom Chats

With millions of Americans now working and studenting remotely, there's been a huge spike in the number of unexpected cat sightings during Zoom video chats.

And the trend hasn't gone unnoticed on Twitter, where jokes on the topic have proliferated at warp speed and provided a welcome dose of levity against a backdrop of otherwise grim headlines.

15. Well, you know the meeting

should close when the cat gets up in the chair and yawns at everyone!

[csziggy]

16. When you've lost the cat's attention, the meeting has to end, of course

Otherwise, the cat will spend then next hour disrupting everything, needy souls!
