What are you doing during virtual meetings?

[Billinsd]

With the speaker phone, mute button on, and the video off, what are you doing? Surfing the web, changing spark plugs, watching tv, doing the dishes, washing the car, shooting arrows?

I haven’t had any for years because I quit that line of work. But It would depend if I had to participate in the call or not. If not, anything from researching my next purchase to drinking beer or scratching my balls.

Yawning. Unfortunately I deal with Special Education, IEP... and the documents are legal documents, so I need to actually be present and reasonably attentive. But come Tuesday afternoon, I am free for the summer.

Browing Rokslide... I'm thinking about starting a thread about 30-06 for brown bears just to watch the world burn while I suffer through this meeting...

You can do better than that. Make it a 6.5 Creedmoor for brown bears thread...

A whole lot of pistol dry fire.

If I have to sit through one more damn zoom meeting I might lose my sanity. We’ve been working from home since first week of March and will be for the foreseeable future.
My next zoom meeting project is to breakdown and rebuild the carb on my outboard.

Practicing my elk calling. Learning new tunes. eScouting for the fall. Doing all the work I never have time to do because I’m in too many meetings...

I have been working from home and have my desk/office set up right next to my bow press and work bench. Working on bows while listening in on conference calls and I don't drink, but I like to count all the corporate buzzwords people use over and over and imagine how hammered I'd be if I made a drinking game out of it....

So far since March:
called in and shot a turkey
fishing
plowed a field (had to idle down a few times to talk)
cut fire wood (not recommended)
hours of internet surfing
rebuilt a clutch
built 2 guns
restrung a bow
TBD as we are still home and trying to run as if the company is up at 100%

 

[Poser]

Mute.
I turn video off if I can.
Work on my side hustle

Been working from home since Feb. It has been great! We have about 25% or even less of the meetings that we used to have. No more meetings about what our next meeting will be about. I think it may be that there is less BSing in meetings so they are more to the point which leads to less meetings because everything gets covered.

In the meetings I do have...I have cleaned guns, mounted scopes for some people, cut and assembled arrows, bought and researched things on line.

Firing people that feel they do not have to pay attention to a meeting I have called.

Somehow I managed to unmute my phone, 2 weeks ago, while dragging the garbage and recycling cans down the driveway and into their proper spots which apparently requires a significant more amount of banging and dragging, than I knew. Wanna talk about a) bringing some life to a conference call b) pissing off the boss. That will do it!

The Zoom private chat function is a great source of entertainment.

Had this happen during a meeting a month or so ago...after 2 or 3 times of someone asking "everyone" to mute their line if they were not talking...all of a sudden it sounds like someone has their phone presses against their printer and they must have been printing the dictionary with how long it lasted...as the original person starts to yell at them to mute the phone, a second unmuted line sounds like a metal building is coming down and crap is bouncing all over the ground...total shit show.

I recently learned the importance of always wearing a shirt or always making sure your camera is turned off before joining a meeting. I’m on zoom/Skype calls all day every day and got a little too comfortable and complacent.

An old co-worker of mine used to do that all the time. It was hilarious to watch him dive over the couch and come back with a hoodie on 30 seconds later.

You fire people during meetings? Oh joy!
