As many of you know this is my last week of work. I resigned and am planning to retire if these headhunters don't spoil my wishes with the offiers they are coming up with.
I had to be on a conference call a week or so ago and it was the only day I was to be home for 2 weeks and I had no interest in the call but was forced to be on it so here is how I chose to be there
 
You sir.... are my hero! lol

I have made many conference calls from home while engaged in other activities, but never while preparing food, lol.

Now THAT is how it's done.
Bravo my good man, bravo...
 
if you had done that from the git-go you might still want to be there..... nice job gary!
 
Boss: Um, Yeah were going to need you to come in on Saturday, and probably on Sunday. ( from the movie Office Space)

You: You know I would really... Oh crap, Hold on... I dropped my phone into a perfectly good batch of jerky! Could you hold on for a second...Click! *dial tone*

I have to do a conference call every couple of weeks-lucky for me it's done over the phone and doesn't involve any computer presentations.

I call in, hit the "mute" button, pour me a hot cuppa, set my chair in a comfy position and grab a book. When it's my turn to talk, I unmute the phone say my piece, hit the mute button and go back to my book.

The call is weekly at 0900 Mondays - it is a really good thing that we are not using web cams or they might have seen me - well lets just leave it there - LOL
 
Certainly this can't be that rare. I work from home most days, and there are always 2-3 conference calls *per day*. I often am building a fire, loading a smoker, mixing sausage, whatever during them. Bluetooth is a great thing!
