In Sacramento. Sitting in a room with 55 people. They can all see me on my laptop and think I'm working and being all serious and businesslike. Roffle!!!!!

Euro 2004 updates welcome. I'm here all day!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

ROFFLE!

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

This suit is so comfortable. I should wear it very day!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!

Wait, updates? Run a damn ticker from one of the soccer sites, you lazy man. (Latvia and Germany still nil-nil halfway through the second half.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

what's the meeting about?

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

About comfortable suits and checking webboards during official functions.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

HE ISN'T WORKING, YOU KNOW

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a mock trial. Very dry.

Sacramento women are ridiculously buxom. Not that I have a thing for it or anything.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

RJG wins!

Sacramento women are ridiculously buxom

Thinking of an old girlfriend of mine there, I can testify to this.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

is it 300 degrees farenheit there? because that would be a cool summer day in Sacramento.

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

yes. i am connected to hotel wifi. I'm thinking of you, Kyle. This being your spiritual home and all.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

some of my ancestors are from near vilnius! (and my grandmother went to school there)

maybe you are a self-hating balt!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm trying to make you feel at home, AdamL!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

"It wasn't me!" denies time-thieving paralegal

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

s1ocki, maybe we are COUSINS!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not a paralegal, I'm a trial consultant!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

This would be like the TM0bi1e (?) advert where a wife sends a husband (who's in a meeting) a video of their son chucking baseballs into the wall. YUSS! *fistpump*

― Leeefuse 73 (Leee), Saturday, 19 June 2004 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)

― Aimless (Aimless), Saturday, 19 June 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Cozen - it's a new average!

― Aimless (Aimless), Saturday, 19 June 2004 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Bland food, I'm guessing.

Anyway, halfway through the first half, Netherlands 2 Czech Republic 1.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

adam are you more on the technical side of trial consultation? like using the computers during argument and such to display images and whatnot? or are you more of a jury consultant?

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Saturday, 19 June 2004 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm, back. Goddamn deli buffet.

Bill-I am the latter.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

― Aimless (Aimless), Saturday, 19 June 2004 19:18 (twenty-one years ago)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Saturday, 19 June 2004 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

It's been something!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

And now that's the final! You missed one hell of a match, I must search for the highlights to see them.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

The Cubs won in the bottom of the 9th!!

― jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 19 June 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

― Kurt Russell in the Chinese Quarter (nordicskilla), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:19 (nineteen years ago)

Like an ILXor on the roof!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

Hey some of my ancestors are from near Vilnius too. They owned a cow, my grandmother proudly told me.

Haven't we done this before?

― beanz (beanz), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

yeah!

― Kurt Russell in the Chinese Quarter (nordicskilla), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

i've just been in a meeting that involved a) a fellow ilx0r and b) me mentioning ILX (although not by name). beat that.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

Was there drink?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

three years pass...

most boring conference call of my life right now. one of those "you probably should come along" meetings.

― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 12:58 (ten years ago)

conference calls are the worst imaginable way to exchange information imo

― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:20 (ten years ago)

it's a total farce - it's a conference call discussing how we write about 50 highly technical webpages about permits for emissions

if you have to have a call to discuss what the facts of a massive body of work like this are - there is something wrong.

i have a meeting about this call afterwards. #efficiency

― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:23 (ten years ago)

jesus wept you have my deepest sympathy

― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:26 (ten years ago)

i think the "... has joined the conference!" caught the end of me saying "fucking waste of time" at the start, though the recipient just said "i hope your cold improves!"

― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:26 (ten years ago)

love that awkward pause after '... has joined the conference!' where everyone waits to see if anyone else will welcome the newcomer, then the avalanche of mumbled hellos after one brave soul takes the plunge

― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:28 (ten years ago)

haha yeah it's so grim... these faintly sad "hello nigel", "hi stephen here", "this is suzanne", "hii suzanne"

― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:32 (ten years ago)

With each new challenger comes the possibility that the meeting will in fact never end.

Post-call meetings are very useful for junior staff ime, as they're a cavalcade of bitching which orients them quickly about crucial alliances ~~in this game of phones~~.

― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:33 (ten years ago)

the only time i like a conf call is when working at home, you can really get shit done if you put earphones in. laundry, washing up etc.

i intend to use this meeting to rubbish this entire body of work.

― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:34 (ten years ago)

obv you must say you'd like to bring someone else in on this call and then bring up conferencecall.biz
