Scientist gives honest glimpse of Work-from-home setup, netizens say ‘same here’

In a hilarious post, a scientist gave a glimpse of her work-from-home setup and netizens cannot relate more. Scientist and environmental engineer Gretchen Goldman, a Ph.D. holder, took to her official Twitter handle to share a behind the scene photo of her recent interview with leading US broadcaster CNN. An honest representation of what most employees related to in the coronavirus pandemic era of work from home, the image shows a myriad of toys scattered as the scientist somehow managed to place her laptop atop a chair kept on top of a table in a room completely messed up to show herself presentable on live. 

The working mother was live on an interview with CNN about President Trump's appointment of a ‘climate-science denier’ in the US weather and climate agency. Clad in a yellow top, the woman was seen perched in her black shorts on a chair, in reality, which wasn’t apparent in the midshot for the television interview. “Just being honest,” wrote the science expert in the caption of the photo. It can be seen in the image, that the woman managed to arrange a quick makeshift set up for her appearance, while her children had scattered the toys all across the floor.

A renowned research director for the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists, Gretchen, portrayed the challenges of working from home amid the family and children during the COVID-19 pandemic. She even posted a still from her perfect interview alongside the original picture to demonstrate the reality of life and working conditions in working mums’ not so perfect life. “For future reference, use your ironing board to rest your laptop on - you can adjust to the right height and it's much less precarious than a chair on a coffee table,” a user wrote, sharing her work from home set up, where her laptop was seen on the iron board in the bedroom.

Pet dog fiddling with things

Immediately, many poured in their work from home set up as more hilarious photos made into the comments thread. “When you want to get WiFi in the next county,’ wrote another, sharing her router’s image kept outside of the home on staircases. “What nobody sees on my zoom calls,” said another posting behind the scene work set up with her pet dog fiddling with things in the background. “This unfiltered glimpse into your reality is so important for the mental health of working moms in a pandemic. If they only see the left image it can be very disheartening. The right image allows them to have a knowing laugh and cut themselves some slack,” said another. “My wife works at the office; I'm a man at home trying to hold together the job, parenting, and on-line schooling. Not to mention house-training the puppy, and tripping on the Thomas trains,” wrote a husband, narrating his work from home experience. He added, that these funny challenges were gender-neutral.
