whenever i hold a conference call that poo poo is tight. (i'm part of a trianing suborg and we're always trying to whip others into shape and it doesn't work, it never works ebcause we can't fire or discipline people)

yeah this call has rotating hosts and a couple manage to actually keep a schedule and keep things in the call moving, the rest are completely loving useless. "ok first on the agenda is this thing...any questions?" *allows call to descend into utter chaos, doesnt speak again until the very end of the call* "ok we'll cover the rest of the items next week"

counterpoint: i would no longer be regarded as a computer god by my coworkers for things like 'uses keyboard shortcuts in excel'

our last training included things like how you shouldnt shut down your computer by holding down the power button

i encountered someone at work who does this. every single day, work is over he holds down the power button to turn off his computer. blew my mind. had to explain that this was a bad thing, and to use start > shutdown.

at my job every conference room is owned by a department and assigned to the admin of that apt - this leads to you booking a room and getting a decline plus form email from the admin. there is no structure across the company for how these rooms are booked and each admin comes up with their own process so depending on what room you try to get you may just have a short im convo or you may be logging into lotus notes to submit a form to a database or even doing a transaction or two in sap. its really cool and good because every dept has way less rooms then they need so you get tribal warfare over rooms and hidden conference rooms.

my mind was blown when i went into finance and was introduced to the "cave" a conf room that looks like a group of cubes but the walls have been removed from the inside so people can meet. then after befriending the us controller i learned that the cave had a hidden cave that was actually a full conference room marked as a mother's room hidden in the back of the cave. also another group successfully lobbied to move the company convenience store to the cafeteria so they could turn it into a meeting room but they kept the keys with their admin so nobody could steal it. my dept (it, what a shocker) consolidated our data center and ops room into one room so the old noc became a hidden conference room that you need retina scanner access to get to and its forbidden to bring anyone outside the dept to it

so yeah people get weird about conference rooms and meeting titles

oh forgot one other thing, all our official conf rooms have those little touchscreens where you can book the room but one day global changed the corp directory backend without consulting the vendor so now for four months they just say "error: unreachable host" and flash between red and green

i don't really pay too much attention to any of this as i am currently consumed in the coffee room wars

how the hell does this thread keep delivering like this holy poo poo
