A few weeks ago, someone accidentally put my office Zoom account on a list to be shut off, and it WAS, in the middle of a regularly scheduled call, on a consulting contract, that pays us rather well, when it went off. My interaction with the powers to be, was polite but frustrating, I looped my boss's boss into the conversation, and finally someone went oops, my fault! The really nice thing is the person who made the mistake, took responsibility and apologized. I had driven to the office that day, when it was resolved, I closed up shop, put the top down on the car and drove home a little early. Sometimes the most productive thing is to leave work a little early. I can look back and laugh at it today, but in the moment, I needed a little change of pace. Kind if like Gordon.
Having only Zoomed a couple of times for social reasons, I wonder how often people drop off into a doze during a work Zoom meeting. I expect I would.

DeleteIt’s a good thing you took the convertible and not the skateboard.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever made it more than 10 feet on a skateboard
DeleteRare that someone actually takes responsibility for a mistake these days.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the drive with the top down was therapeutic.
The top down always is
DeleteI like when Godzilla goes by the window!
ReplyDeleteYes, lots going on
DeleteWell, I'm certainly glad that didn't happen to you when you put the top down and drove out of there.
ReplyDeleteMade it home and felt better

ReplyDeleteLOVE YOU!
DeleteWell, that was disturbing.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I hope in a good way,
DeleteI think it's the graphics. That plane crash was a little too realistic.
DeleteThat was a bit much, there is one other graphic that flies by that is disturbing.
Delete"The really nice thing is the person who made the mistake, took responsibility and apologized." Other than myself, this type of person is unheard of in my organization, and rarer than a merman riding a unicorn on the back of a pegasus, through Narnia.

I have offered to teach a class in the art of apology, rudely no one responded to the offer
