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!
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.

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.

You must be right-- when I'm on a call with more than ten or so, everyone not speaking should have their mute on, so usually someone pipes up if there is interference. With speakerphones especially you can't talk if someone else is making noise.

In good-sound news, I think the office next to me is playing opera, which is like instantly calming to me given there is also a jackhammer outside.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Lee, I'd be interested in that.

Cool, Zenkitty.

Sounds like fun, Lee.
