dialled into a conference call today, meeting started 15 minutes late because we were waiting for the person who scheduled it, who dialled in while on a train surrounded by what sounded like a kids party. the outcome of the conference call was to figure out that the company that sold something about 4 months ago didnt take into account any of the specs of an existing environment and bullshitted their way through the proposal, so the project is being canned.

you ever notice that when someone says they have a question or comment and throw in "real quick", it's never ever real quick? because of course if it actually was, they wouldn't need to add that. i only note that because we're five minutes into this real quick explanation of a defect that we probably shouldn't be troubleshooting on a scrum call. edit- update, we hit 10 minutes before they decided to move on, by which point the QA lady who had been walking us through the defects had forgotten she was doing so. pm- "Ok, can we continue through the defects?" qa- "Defects? Were we... OH! Yeah ok, let me go back to the list." Iridium fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Feb 15, 2017 |

even in my most dysfunctional offices we were ok at handling that situation "let's park that and the relevant people can stay on the call to discuss after we're done giving our updates"

currently listening to my coworker bounce between two different people on the phone. he'll switch to one, start to discuss something, say "oh they dropped off" and then they'll call back, and he'll switch to that call and continue the conversation with them for a couple minutes, and then the process will repeat

vanilla slimfast posted:fiddlers green is a concert venue. are you sure it wasn't just the name of the room in the building being named after it? today I walked in to discover they added a new phone conferencing product beside our current dead one. It appears to be to be windows CE based and takes more than 2 minutes to turn on. Co-worker remarked that it's what we used to have about a decade ago and they must have found it in storage. After fully booting, we discover it doesn't work either so we did the meeting crouched over my personal phone on speaker with two separate non-functional conference systems next to it on on the conference room desk Bhodi fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Feb 16, 2017 |

Bhodi posted:if a corporate building as the afterlife is the most depressing thing nah, not just a corporate building. you die, and you're in a conference room. you're seated off in a corner and it turns out you're the only technical resource for an HR project, and the room is otherwise only full of HR people. they have a powerpoint deck. as they reach each slide, they pause for someone to ask a question that has nothing to do with that slide. you're lost and confused but know better than to ask for an explanation. after every such question someone cracks an in-joke and the whole room erupts in shrill, nightmarish laughter. you dont get the joke. every time they progress far enough that they're nearly at the end of the slide deck, someone new enters and the group as a whole chooses to start over at the beginning. all you have to comfort yourself is bad office coffee, and the constant question of why the whole floor smells of potpourri. ask me how i know what hell looks like.
