Well, well, well – what do we have over here? A nice little quarantine fake-out to get to?

People are getting quite resourceful in how they’re hiding their at-home coping mechanisms when on their Zoom calls. And, I can’t say that I blame ’em. At this point, we’ve been in quarantine for around six weeks. We’re all bound to break, even if we weren’t broken before the shut-in. That’s why I have to commend the inventor of this ridiculous little life hack, and figured I’d pass it along to those of you who can’t just openly drink on the job.

Salute to you for doing a great service for the people.

Okay, so you just gotta make sure you aren’t drinking out of the side that is taped and you’re good to go. In case you didn’t know, a defining quality of tape is that it’s super sticky and so could potentially attract some germs. But, if you avoid it, you should be fine.

No one is any wiser to you drinking wine on the job. Hell, I work from home all the time and don’t have to hide my day-drinking at all. I’m still thinking I might have to try this just to see if I can pull it off. Besides, the idea of wine out of a coffee mug is intriguing in its own right.

Anyway, here’s your pro-tip for the day. Hope you guys are all staying sane out there.
