In Greek theater, the term "persona" refers to the mask worn by actors during performances. The mask served as a physical barrier through which sound would travel. The concept of persona, therefore, represents artifice - a false front that hides our true selves.

What you see in front of you right now are falsehoods. None of us are being honest about what we truly want to be doing, which is eating in bed. We all pretend to be doing otherwise, speaking through our personas. Even a firefighter's work is remote these days, with the Euro team handling all the fires. But guess what? The personas in charge hate heroes.

Section 2: The Accessibility Challenge

While Ariel talked about the need for access to a color printer, let's expand on the idea of accessibility. How are our differently abled brothers and sisters supposed to enjoy this moment that we luxuriously share together? The powers that be want to shut that down, both in person and online. It's not just about hashtags like #MeToo or #StopAsianHate. If you say "hashtag" in person to someone, you should be arrested. In fact, I'll take care of it myself! (Just kidding, but seriously...)

Section 3: Work from Home Revolution

I didn't have much time to work on my presentation today because I've been busy rehearsing my persona for two weeks. Sleep has been scarce, but here's what I've learned - if you want to keep me, leave me alone and pay me. I'll handle the rest.

Let's talk about the absurdity of the traditional 40-hour workweek. These idiots are lucky if they can get six real work hours from you in a week. You don't give them 40 hours, but you're expected to be there for 40 hours. My advice? Stay home! Play Xbox! Take care of yourself! Mark Zuckerberg has organized welfare. What is your company really doing? You're part of a nothing-making machine. Get your paycheck and stay home.

The commute, the laundry, the therapy - it's all time-consuming. These animals are eating up huge chunks of your life that you'll never get back. Stay home! And don't forget, your furry friends miss you. Leave your soul-sucking office and reunite with your goddamn dogs and cats.

Section 4: The Freedom of Home

Why would you pay a fortune to live in a city like New York and spend 60 percent of your life cooped up in an office? Hemorrhaging money just to go to some Midtown prison? Your home office can be an asylum or a Shangri-La. You're not stuck there. You can work from the goddamn bathtub if you want to!

Imagine the freedom and happiness you would feel if you were at home, without pants on. The truth is, we don't have to be bundled up, pretending to be something we're not. Let's be ourselves, even if taking off our shirts requires a certain amount of effort. We deserve it!

Give yourself the freedom to live authentically. Embrace the truth. It's time to unmask the persona and revel in the joy of working from home.

Conclusion

In a world of personas and masks, it's time to strip away the artifice and embrace our true selves. From accessibility challenges to the absurdity of the traditional 40-hour workweek, it's clear that the freedom and happiness we seek can be found in the comfort of our own homes. So let go of your persona, kick off your pants, and embrace the truth - working from home is a revolution worth fighting for.
