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 years ago) link

ROFFLE!

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

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

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 years ago) link

what's the meeting about?

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

About comfortable suits and checking webboards during official functions.

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

HE ISN'T WORKING, YOU KNOW

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

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 years ago) link

RJG wins!

Sacramento women are ridiculously buxom

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

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

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*

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

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 years ago) link

I'm, back. Goddamn deli buffet.

Bill-I am the latter.

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

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 years ago) link

Haven't we done this before?

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

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

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 (nine years ago) link

conference calls are the worst imaginable way to exchange information imo

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

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 (nine years ago) link

jesus wept you have my deepest sympathy

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

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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