conference call is actually a conversation between two people that could have easily been an email, but right at the end everyone else roped into it has to lean into the office phone and thank the remote person

company has two locations about 120 miles apart, spent a load of money turning a room in one office into a video conference room, didn't buy anything for the other office. one guy travels between the two sites three days a week to sit at a desk and work on email, and maybe once a month has to have a face-to-face meeting.

any money you spend on conferencing stuff you might as well burn or just buy a load of beers with.

well here's a different kind of conference clusterfuck

when you're set as 'do not disturb' on skype it usually pops up a warning for the sender, and then if they send anywya it goes to email. but it's one email per message.

so today i'm set as do not distrub while i present on screen and one of my project managers decides to start bashing out a novel at me, ignoring the warnings. so i get email popups in rapid succession for each of the below until i close outlook.

"hi"
"hey <iridium>"
"whats up"
"dave told me to..."
"do you have time today to..."
"i have to go over the..."

gently caress.

edit- took a moment to bash out a "hey i'm DnD, plz just type this up as an email for me and i can answer it later". i guess this is too much to comprehend and she's gone radio silent.

oh please tell me someone's written an email-to-skype message script, set up an out of office message and left for the weekend

Is that a challenge?
A guy in my office has Skype set up on his iPhone and, inexplicably, his iPad too.

They ring about half a second out of sync, and once he inevitably answers on the phone the iPad keeps ringing for like 30 seconds after. If he hangs up on the iPad while it's ringing it hangs up the call on his phone too, so he has to half shout into the phone to be heard over the still-ringing iPad sat next to him on the desk.
