How long…
Am I obligated to wait on hold for someone that called me and put me on hold before I was able to pick up the phone? And does it make a difference if I don’t like their hold music?
Also, why are people who are supposed to be professionals of some sort so webinar-stupid? When you call in to a webinar there are going to be a lot of people. Make sure you mute your phone if you don’t have a question. And if you can’t mute your phone make sure you are somewhere quiet (although EVERYONE should have been able to mute their phones – they even told you when you called in what key combination it was). Finally, if you aren’t able to get the website portion working, you need to call the help desk or something and not waste everyone else’s time asking the moderator to walk you through your computer issues (which are probably your own fault anyway).
Sorry. I’m a little pissy today at people. I’m otherwise in a good mood though. I started the 2nd trimester of pregnancy today, and the last week or so I’ve been feeling better (a little more energy, being able to actually eat food if I can find something that tastes good). I’m still in the “I look more fat than pregnant” stage, but that should *hopefully* be changing soon. And the Doctor and my pregnancy books all say that I should be able to feel the little baby kicking and moving around soon, so that’s exciting!
How are your respective weeks going? Any annoying coworkers (or people in general that you have to deal with)?

I HATE people who call in to teleconferences and don’t mute their phones – and the ones who ask the moderator for website support are awful.
I do a lot of lunchtime video conferences at work, and despite frequent reminders there is always at least one office who doesn’t mute their mic, so you hear every bag crinkle, and every pop can open and so on. One time I was right in the middle of a sentence when someone on another end BELCHED. Gah!

Ga-ross! I mostly get to hear random people talking about how they are on a webinar for work, or yesterday I got to hear about some car accident that a woman was talking about. I wish the moderator could tell who it was and specifically ask them to mute their phone.

UGH, I hate that too! I always hang up if someone puts me on hold before I even answer, hehe!
Definitely feeling fat and no baby bump!

Take two:
“I’m definitely feeling fat instead of a baby bump too!”
That makes more sense :)

I’ve never been on a true webinar, but I get the picture, people just don’t think it out. They probably don’t realize how rude and noisy they are being. How many people/groups were involved?
I just started a job at a drug store, I like my coworkers but there are definitely some interesting personalities :)

There were about 150 people on this call, which is when it’s even more important than usual to mute your phone.
