Conference Calls

Someone sent me this youtube video today and it made me laugh at how true to life this is of the experience of being on a conference call. For anyone who’s attended conference calls with several attendees on the call, you will definitely relate to this video. There’s always people joining late, phantom beeps, dogs barking, people typing loudly or speaking in the background, babies crying — I’m sure you can add to this list.

In my opinion, a majority of these conference calls is a waste of time. Most of the time a short email can accomplish what is spent in a one hour conference call. That’s just my opinion. Speaking of which I better head to bed since I’ve got a 6 a.m. call in the morning — ick.
