A text exchange about a woman's descent into madness working from home.
A text exchange about a woman's descent into madness working from home.

I'm shopping for a standing desk converter to sit on my existing desk. While shopping I found some odd images on the company's website. I do not own the images, but use them for purposes of parody.

This was a text exchange with my sister who is accustomed to my lunacy.

Here is the text from the image.

Image is of a woman sitting on an exercise bike with her feet folded under her on the bike's seat, a coffee cup cradled in her hands and for some reason a book balanced on her head. All while sitting in front of a standing desk.

This is a woman who needs to go back to the office.

My sister: LOL

Her weekly status reports chronicle her descent into madness.

She constantly talks about her pets on the zoom calls, but she has no pets.

Her therapist is a squirrel.

She told her boss she is balancing the books today.

My shopping for a standing desk converter has become a writing prompt.

The second image is of a different woman smiling as she stares at the monitor on her standing desk. She is standing in front of her standing desk. The clock behind her says 5:30.

Her coworker has a better grasp of the concept of the standing desk.

Important fact: it is 5:30 am and she is not in a zoom call.

She’s just damned happy to be back in the office.

Which is decorated in mid century penitentiary.

This is one of my wife's roses. If you zoom in on the drop of dew, you can see an upside down world.
