I’ve been doing a lot of video conferences since the shelter-in-place put me along the working at home.
You can really get a feel for people by watching how quickly they exit the meeting. People like Jeffrey bail the second it’s over. I assume he does the same in real life, up from the table and out the door the very second the last slide is finished. Others like Marcy politely express their extended gratitude for the opportunity. But most of the attendees simply vanish, mixed in with the herd of the others.
So in the spirit of keeping things awkward I found it enjoyable to stay on video conferences even after the presentation and/or discussion ends.
Like everybody says their thank yous and their goodbyes and then I just stay on the line. Watching the attendees drop off two by two, one by one. Typically the host the ends the meeting and I’m forcibly kicked off.
I wonder how many people notice that I’m just chilling there in the participants sidebar until the end days. Until the final, final last webinar call. Until my connection is silently terminated.
I wonder more if the host (or other random straggler like Kelly) thinks maybe I forgot to log off, or if I wanted to have a few more minutes of their time. Maybe to talk about how rude Jan was. Or maybe because I had something personal on my mind and needed to confide in someone. In anyone.
Some day I’m going to get the courage to blurt out “hello?” when it’s just me and another last caller.
And then make a hasty exit of course. š

I was hosting a call today and people just kept hanging out. I didn’t want to shut down the meeting but I also really wanted to leave. It’s like the awkward last party guest.

Maggie and I literally reached the end of this sidewalk during our regular walk.
The house I live in sits on the end of a sidewalk?
Or maybe it sits at the end of a sidewalk?
Whichever you prefer

Perhaps it’s the beginning of the sidewalk š¤

Perhaps it’s to the side of the middle of the sidewalk being a sidewalk and all.

No you have not. They must be some sort of take home kit you do yourself. Why else would it be sold unfrosted??

They’re a real thing! I like them better than the frosted because you can taste all that preserved synthetic pastry flavor.

Why did you buy unfrosted? Ps. 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp milk works better

Audio (MP3): 20200325 - like a fatalistic mist
3:46 am: God, I am so sick of being awake.
6:37 am: Just because you stop talking about things doesn’t mean everything’s okay.
An x-boss of mine and I would argue and argue about things. And we’d argue about the same kinds of things over and over again. Architecture, database modeling, how to reply to emails. Crap that was important for sure and some crap that wasn’t.
For the longest time I would back down because he was my boss and I worked for him, even if I felt that he was in the wrong. He wasn’t the healthiest tool in the shed. Not saying that I am either but I do try in earnest to balance on the spiritual beam.

Please enjoy another song I recorded sometime in the late 90s, maybe 1996. Of course I wrote all the lyrics and music and played all the instruments. Because that’s what you do when you’re me.
