Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for August 28, 2022

I’m in a club of retirees. Watching them try to use Zoom is entertaining enough.

I can relate …

My wife listened to one of our daily meetings and was amazed at how useless it sounded.

It (also) gives him plausible deniability.

I sure don’t miss meetings – loving retirement!

Don’t Zoom often and was talking to financial advisor for about 45 minutes then he said my video was off. He told me to look for the camera with a slash. Now I ask if they can see me. I know they hear me, LOL!

‘Why didn’t you tell me I was on mute?’ ‘What? Really? I thought it was my computer… I was going crazy trying to correct the problem… Oh, look at the time. Too bad.’ LOL

At least this way the endless PowerPoint isn’t as redundant.

Pre covid days we were in a meeting and the meeting room that had a television monitor on the wall. The boss was droning on and on until he noticed one of my work colleagues fiddling with the remote. The boss stopped and asked him what he was doing? My colleague advised he was looking for the mute button.

Wanna guess who got the next S#!%%Y assignment? True Story.

I bet he wondered why no one had interrupted him.

We have teleconferences that we’d prefer having some of the people on mute.
