Why does everyone have to post on Facebook a "first day of school" photo every year for their kids? If it's kindergarten I get it, but I don't need to see your kid leaving for the first day of 11th grade wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
Right? Everyone knows that Facebook is strictly for wacky political theories.Quote:

It certainly leaves a lot to be desired in many ways, but it is a convenient way to see what your friends and family have been up to.Quote:

Before this shitshow of "zoom" "teams" etc meetings, this sales guy I know leaves an in-person company meeting because he has a sales call commitment. He stays in the meeting via phone on his commute to the sales call. Accidentally unmutes and the entire office hears, "yeah, tanqueray and tonic please". That was the end of his road at that company [emoji1787]

I've mentioned before that there was a serial pisser on a weekly meeting for an account I covered a lot of years ago. Nobody ever fessed up and we never figured out who it was. We were all dialed in on actual phones, it was before web conferences where you can see who's mic is capturing sound. Guy took long pisses too. And, we never heard him wash his hands. Everyone was too polite or too shocked to call him out.
I run a weekly meeting and have to say the first one every damn time due to one or two of the bosses always being late. Grinds my gears to have to say it.Quote:

I say the second plenty, but not because I imagine it’s clever. Just trying to be polite and respectful and acknowledge that their time is a precious resource.
I say both of them when I am the host. Definitely don't think I am saying anything new or clever. But I am hosting meetings with very busy people that I do not supervise or have any authority over, so I need to wait to make sure everyone is on, and like mustonen says, I want to acknowledge that they are busy.
