Working from home is a challenge. Sometimes I forget what day it is. The days all run together. Some days I get up and get so engrossed in what I’m doing that day that I forget to shower until almost dinner time. I had one of those days last week. But…I went grocery shopping during my stupor and ran into quite a few people I hadn’t seen in years looking like a complete slob. Oh well…
Anyway…yesterday I got up and did my hair and was going to make a video. I haven’t done that in a long time. I was in the bathroom doing my hair and (if I do say so myself) it looked GREAT!! I come out to my office and turn on the webcam. No matter what I did, I looked like I was BALD on one side of my head. BALD!! I ran back into the bathroom and my hair looked great. What in the world?
So I yell to my daughter – “Kate – come out here!!” She comes running out and I say “I’m bald!!”
“You’re not bald, Mom”
“YES I AM – Look!!” as I’m pointing to the computer screen.
Katie assures me that I’m not bald and it’s just the settings on the webcam. So she messes with the settings for a bit to no avail. I’m still half bald in front on the webcam. She says “I’ll prove it to you, Mom. You’re not bald.” She goes and gets her camera. She takes a few pictures and lo & behold, my hair is bright red and I’M BALD on one side!!!” She insists that it’s just the camera.
Yup. The camera adds 100 pounds and makes me bald on one side of my head!!! Needless to say, I won’t be in front of the camera anytime soon.
What horrible things does the camera do to you?
