Iridium posted:over the past couple weeks on conference calls there's been a weird trend that crops up. someone, upon calling in, invariably manages to trigger my boss's voicemail system. it plays through his whole message, tells you to leave a message after the tone, press a number to listen to your own messages, etc. he's having the system call him and then no-answering

coworker just called into a bridge from the courthouse where he's appearing for something or other and didn't mute his phone while the bailiff was barking orders at the defendants to get in line and poo poo surprised they were allowing phones but whatever.

I think I made something like this once. On my version you could get a whole row with * Presenter's screen saver kicks in * Presenter wiggles mouse but does not disable screen saver * Presenter's screen saver kicks in, again * Presenter wiggles mouse but does not disable screen saver, again * WHY IS IT SET TO FIVE MINUTES

decided to score this from the last conference call i had. so close!  other options tho * "Sorry for all of you on the phone, we're drawing on the whiteboard" * Multiple people announcing themselves at once so that at least one person has to repeat their name 3+ times. * Someone's other phone rings * Someone's other phone rings, and they answer it and talk without thinking to go on mute.

I was on a cc the other day that was scheduled for an hour. at the end of the hour the host said "well we're not done discussing x so we will pick it up in our next meeting." I was scared and confused for the rest of the day of The Meeting That Ended On Time

instead of "can everyone go on mute" we get "i'm going to go ahead and put everyone on mute due to background noise" 15 minutes into every call. from a guy who hosts this call every week. just start out muted, christ.

anthonypants posted:my boss will sometimes call me up while he's having a smoke and he won't move his phone away while he's doing so Way back in the day when I was still in the escalation path. We had one guy in the NOC who would without fail call about twice a week when I was on rotation, and chew on the cap of a pen as loud and close as possible to the mic on his headset while he was waiting on me to look at whatever it was. He'd stop if you brought it up, but you had to remind him, it was terrible.

back in 2011 we implemented an update to our already-aged identity management system. this update meant it was pinned to a domain cert that had a 10 year lifespan, and surely that old, creaky system would be sunset and etc. yeah you get where this is going. we're on a conference call right now, doing screen sharing / remote control of a server with the only guy who still remembers the process, who is also out on paternity leave. the cert expired last week. but can it be a more hosed call? Yes! the manager who opened the call on skype is worried that if he hangs up, it drops everyone, so he just left the line open in a conference room where he'd started the call. and of course, the two actually working on it have been reading the domain admin password back to one another. (luckily only for QA) while there's an open speakerphone and nobody, supposedly, in the room. in the background, through the open conference room door, we can hear people using the microwave at the breakroom just past it. good times, great oldies. our IDM team has had projects on the books each year since 2012 to stand up the replacement system and finally sunset this one. only last year did the new one get stood up, and they're way loving far behind on migrations to it. whenever they begin asking us to list risks or issues on a project, i call them out specifically as one. And I'm never wrong.
