Meetings and video calls, working from home avoiding the Cast Away - Lifestyle effect

After an initial phase of stunning and shock as regards what is happening with the coronavirus pandemic, we begin to take measures with this which is, at least for now, being in good and controlled health, our new normal : the house at the center of everything and no longer a family roof where maybe to meet together only at the end of the day, but a place of work, school, gym, cinema and so on.

It is not easy but we have no choice, we must stay home and do everything from there, going on until we get out of the emergency. In these last days, after singing from the balconies to communicate that we are all close even if distant, after calling close and distant relatives, made desserts and homemade pasta every other day (and therefore put on chili) we realize that the work is something serious and can not stop. So meetings, video conferences via zoom go crazy and so video calls between offices and customers. With the consequence that we must be organized in spaces and presentable, we are basically running for cover to avoid becoming wild.
Someone goes on with a little trick: shirt and jacket and under their pajamas. it is an idea but certainly a bit tragicomic, better to dress as the Americans did years ago by launching the casual friday fashion, that is the Friday look the one in which, once the jacket was removed, you could go to the office with t shirt and pullover and under wear jeans or casual pants.
Here is our work routine, from the point of view of the outfit, can be inspired by this: a nice shirt and a pair of comfortable trousers will be more appropriate to the times of a pinstripe jacket or a sweatshirt, a beautiful middle ground. There is a risk Cast Away , unfortunately it is like this: like Tom Hanks shipwrecked in the Pacific, with closed barbers, hairdressers and beauticians tightened we see each other uncultivated beards once treated to the millimeter with hipster maniacity, ruffled hair, regrowth on sight as not even Madonna di Like a virgin in the 80s (however she had invented the shatush and we did not thank her enough), not to mention the unwanted hair that thank God in chat meetings are not included.
The hairdressers ran to the shelters with Sos to customers: there are those who send home kits with instructions for retouching the precise color as when doing in the salon, those who make tutorials explaining how to brush the skin, those who film while styling is done by remotely guiding people. In reality a little wild is good: detoxifies the hair from the stress of frequent washing, products, excessive blows of hair dryer and straightener then you can use tricks like changing the line, getting a nice high or low tail or picking them up in chignon, it is important to be in addition to looking well-kept and in order. A light make-up then does not hurt and protects us from the gaze of others and gives us safety.

As for the spaces, apart from the lucky ones who have a room, a studio for them, we must organize ourselves in the best way: delimit a place that is precisely the 'home office' with a computer, a lamp to illuminate, even a microscopic place that let us mentally consider you in an office position because so immediately we are helped to give our best, to concentrate. It is not always possible and if the children, perhaps young ones, around us break in calling us in the middle of a video meeting, patience, the interlocutors will understand and smile knowing that it can also happen to them, but we certainly avoid if we can. More important is the background of these encounters since we can be framed. It is not the best to see the headboard of the bed behind us or the hood of a kitchen, better something more neutral or a full bookcase that always makes its figure.
