so last week we had the usual nonsense call

this time it was about a new contract approval / management package

cue a bunch of administrative assistants connecting from their laptops using the built in cameras

one by one they muted or put sticky notes over the camera once they realized that they all
looked 20 years older and 20 pounds heavier

the presenter was a native Spanish speaker, i think Italian was his second. English was maybe fifth, so every fourth word was "ehhhhhh"

1.5 hours later. someone in our group asked about a heavily-used feature which the existing package has.

"ehhhh we do not have that ehhhhh function
ehhhh implemented yet. we ehhhhhh espect to have that in the next version"

at that point the head of thefinance group mentioned that they already had begun negotiations on upgrading the existing package and would not consider paying for something different

bloop bloop bloop everyone hung up

total fuckin wasteof time.

actually no. a proper breakfast was supplied, so it wasn't all bad

someone has stolen all our Chromecasts

we had to find a projector, then pointed one of the Polycom's cameras at it so the folks on the other end could see the presentation
