and my feet have enjoyed the freedom. And by the way, I get to wear all the fun, fluffy socks I accumulate and can never wear IRL. 7. Savings on makeup, hair products and other beauty enhancers – who needs all those bottles and tubes when you have “Touch up my appearance” in Zoom. I can change my lipstick color or enhance my brows with a click of the mouse (or actually virtually wear lipstick when I never do IRL). 8. Brush up on my Solitaire or Wordle skills or browse websites while I wait for my case to be called. While I could be doing other work I may get paid for someday by a grateful client, another use of the waiting time on Zoom is some mindless R & R, enhancing my relaxation and mental health, or maybe even finding a bargain I can’t live without. 9. Easier attendance at bar meetings and seminars – On many occasions in the ‘before time’ I would have
every intention of going to Waukegan or downtown for a noontime bar meeting, only to cancel those plans because leaving the office mid-morning to drive there, park, attend the meeting, and then drive back would eat up too much time and energy, not to mention the exhaustion afterwards that would inhibit getting anything else done for a good chunk of the remaining afternoon. Since remote attendance was not possible before 2020 for most of these meetings, I would get lazy or swamped and miss the window to leave in time to make it to the meeting, and then just miss it altogether. Now, I Zoom in just in time and the rest of my day and my efforts can be directed more productively. 10. And the Best Thing About Zoom – we have been able to continue to do our work, have the court system remain open, and provide assistance to our clients while avoiding infection when the country shut down either partially or completely during this awful pandemic.
