    About a month or so ago, I was on a conference call with probably 30 people or so and the PM is going through his stuff, talking about the project and so on. This PM is particularly mono toned and really knows how to drag out a meeting. So after about 30 minutes, I'm really working hard just to stay awake and pay attention. Add a little more time to that and it's becoming a heck of struggle. About 40 minutes in, the PM was interrupted by a women's voice making a very, shall we say distinctive and easily recognizable sound! Type of sound usually reserved for behind closed doors ...I was instantly brought back to full attention . I haven't sat up that quick since boot camp. I had to fight so hard not to unmute my phone and make some kind of smart *** comment. The struggle was real that day! There was about a 15 second silence before the monotone PM finally broke it and said "bless you." Which was immediately followed by someone else saying "you thought that was a sneeze?" Best and most comical conference call I've ever personally been apart of.



    Greatness

            When the rona first broke out and we were sent home, weekly updates from the sr company team used Teamstochold the meetings and didnt mute everyone upon entry. A womanis heard washing her hands and working with her you g children, then going to the bathroom, all while the leadership team is saying to mute their calls over snd over. On a call of a few hundred people. Needless to say they stsrted using Teams livestream and no one could unmute 🤣🤣.

                We have teams usually, but support always uses webex. I'm kind of disappointed I havent had any interesting meetings.

                  Happens all the time.

                  Couple years ago another Service Manager was traveling to a customers site and forgot to mute his phone. All of a sudden he goes into road rage and screams get the f out the road twiddle **** [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

                  We all had a good laugh. He Never got fired or anything. Crap happens.

                    I had another meeting today with the same group. They all dropped off pretty quick after the meeting was over today, so I don't think anyone stayed around to hear my rant yesterday. At least not anymore that signs my check anyway. [emoji16]

                      Guy holding the call must not have heard that very distinctive sound very often.
