So all the cool kids have changed their backgrounds to weird sci-fi scenes. One of them's on the moon, one's just sort of floating between purple nebulae, and another's in a sort of frozen game of Halo.
I think it's Halo; it might be Call of Duty. It says something that I can't tell the difference, but it's definitely that kind of thing, even though that kind of thing isn't really my field. Meanwhile, Davide is working from the beach.
I'm not a cool kid. But I have got my hoodie up, and right now my background displays the ethereal combination of 'freezer, wall, circular clock and doorway' which at least is real. The irony is that an alien background would probably suit me today: with my isolation beard and hood, I look a little like a Jedi in exile on the planet Maisonette - Or Mayzon-Et if you feel like Star-Warsifying it.
You can do all sorts of weird things with Microsoft Teams apparently. There was a story last week of a boss who accidentally made herself look like a potato (you can do that) and didn't realise. She gave an entire sales presentation to a chuckling audience and had no idea why.
There'd be a backstory to how 'Mubbs Windu' ended up on Mayzon-Et. Perhaps he's hiding from the dark side: a fierce battle with Darth Skypus and Emperor Jira. Perhaps he's looking for his droids VP-N and Slackbot... or maybe he's just in quarantine from the great plague of Covidia that devastated the old republic and spread fear throughout the galaxy...
You can take these things too far though, can't you.
