Why Wearing Sunglasses Indoors Boosted My Confidence in Zoom Meetings đ
Sunglasses arenât just a look. Theyâre a portal to god-tier confidence.

It started as a joke. A Tuesday morning experiment to spice up the monotony of another 47-hour meeting about⌠honestly, who even remembers? I slapped on my aviators đśď¸, leaned back in my chair, and prepared for the usual corporate nonsense.
Thatâs when Mercuryâââyes, the Roman god of communicationâââjoined the call. His avatar was a glowing winged sandal, which felt both on-brand and a little pretentious. âNice shades,â he said, his voice crackling through the bad Wi-Fi connection. âFinally, someone who understands the power of an aesthetic flex.â
The others in the meeting? They didnât notice. Apparently, divine appearances are only visible to the coolly confident (and possibly sleep-deprived). Mercury leaned closer, his holographic face filling my screen. âHereâs the deal,â he said, gesturing wildly with what appeared to be an iced latte. âYou keep wearing those shades, and Iâll grant you divine charisma.â I nodded, naturally. What kind of fool argues with a god?
From then on, things escalated. During one particularly tense brainstorming session, I stared down Greg (you know, that guy who always uses âsynergyâ unironically) and said, âWeâre going with my idea. Mercury approves.â Everyone just⌠nodded. No one dared question meâââor the apparent celestial endorsement.
Now, Iâm unstoppable. Budget reviews? Conquered. Debates about font choices? Decided with a single, inscrutable nod. My coworkers whisper behind my back: âWhatâs with the sunglasses?â Let them wonder. Mercury has my back.
Moral of the story? Sunglasses arenât just a look. Theyâre a portal to god-tier confidence. Literally. đ
