Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, many of us have had to start working from home. While there a definitely a few perks to this new situation, one of the most annoying parts is the incessant video calls.
Here are 13 things you’ll get if this is your reality now:
1. When your office sends an invite for the 10th video call in a week.

Hian! Can we rest?
2. The first 10 minutes of every call: “Helloooooooooo?”.
