A Suggestion to My Colleagues

[bjarvis]

If you're going to join a conference call while telecommuting from home, you may wish to consider muting your telephone while waiting for the meeting to start. While your fight with your wife was mildly entertaining in a slow-moving-train-wreck kind of way, it's not how I'd like to start my morning, especially since I was keen on neither the meeting nor the morning already.

Thank you.

I'm waiting for the day when we all have video conferencing and someone forgets to turn off his input when he's masturbating through the whole meeting. ;-)

I want an office video conferencing system which allows me to change the backdrop behind me. I'll select a scene which fits my mood or opinion on the utility of the meeting: perhaps a beach, perhaps the D-Day landing, perhaps Godzilla flattening Tokyo, perhaps something from "Kill Bill". Just don't accidentally mix in the pr0n snippets...

Mood backgrounds! Changes on the fly!

Mix in the pr0n snippets intentionally!
