Why is there someone BREATHING into the phone so that we all hear it?
Someone who nodded off with their face next to the phone?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You can't just say something? He might mean to have his mute on his cell or something. God, conference calls. Especially with cell phones. What nightmares.

I remember a corporate training call where the instructions repeatedly said to mute your end until the q&a period. Mind you, there were over 100 dialed in.
OH MY GOD. It was insane. People were not muting, having full blown conversations, etc. I have no idea why they set it up that way (well, because they are dumb), nor why they didn't just hangup on those people (well, because they are dumb), instead of nagnagnagging (well, because they are dumb) someone who probably had the volume turned all the way down anyway.
So lame.

Vortex, that drives me batshit when people do that. WTF? Even if you don't think it's you, wouldn't you get paranoid and check? I sure do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was on one recently where the trainer told everyone they could mute by hitting 6 or whatever, so half the call was the sound of people hitting 6. Argh!

You can't just say something?
I don't really know how -- hey, whoever is breathing into the phone, please stop? If they knew that they were doing it, wouldn't they not?

I decided that the best way to cope with my afternoon was to listen to my Pirates playlist the rest of the work day. And now I'm going to be breaking into Barrett's Privateers at random the rest of this week.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This is a carryover from my LJ, because I thought people here might want to play too (Tom Scola, I am looking at you).
Would people be interested in having a photographic scavenger hunt? I was thinking I could come up with/collect a list of items for people to photograph, give them a set amount of time, and then everyone could share the pictures they come up with.
Logistically, I think it wouldn't work here, so I would set it up in my LJ, but I could link to it from here, if people would be interested.
