When your coworker steps off frame in zoom, take a screenshot of their apartment and make it your zoom background.

My friend (at a different agency) and I forward each other our zoom meeting invites and pop into each others meetings under fake named accounts.

We’ll ask questions about the brief, or eat peanut butter from a jar with our fingers in front of everyone. It’s a good time and “as a random pop-in,” provides comedic relief for whoever is in the video call.

We’ve started to try to one up each other: walking around on screen in a towel, picking our noses, etc

I have an inspection scheduled for a townhouse and learned that there is no access to the roof (the house does not have an attic with roof access). This is an old house (>100 yrs) and I would like for the inspector to be able to view the roof to see if there are any issues. The sellers said we can use a drone but my inspector / none of the inspectors I’ve asked use a drone. Is there anything I can do here? The house is 3 stories.
