Pretty sure I was on a call where someone was either A) working out intensely, maybe with heavy weights? B) shagging

Lots of grunting and heavy breathing. We had to end the call because they couldn’t mute the person 😂

I was zoned out, camera off/muted on a 500 person call. Little did I know we went into breakout rooms and I was in Kevin sneaders (McKinsey CEO) room with 3 other people. Noticed right as I heard him asking if I wanted to participate lol

Yesterday a woman was jogging her treadmill on a 300 person call. I don’t think she realized the camera was on ... and angled poorly 😬

If you want to feel better ... last week I was in a SteerCo and I had to shower as I was late to meet my wife at the doctor, so I switched to my phone and while in the shower the camera turned on ... thank god for my teammates that they took some screenshots 😃

We had been in a breakout room and I didn’t realize it auto switched chat back to “everyone” when the break out ends lol

Good thing it was a mundane message with no clients on the call

I said “this point leads us to a destination of nowhere” in the main chat of Teams instead of to my colleague. Then the person asks me why in the chat and I had to think fast and say “I may need to think deeper to ensure I understand your perspective”. This still meant we were going nowhere, but at least I put it back on myself. My colleague was dying though 🥴😂

A while back, before Zoom, a colleague thought he put himself on mute and said "effing a--holes" and screamed in frustration... Did not go over well afterwards. I just imagine that sinking dread when you look and realize mute. is. not. on.

Over a decade ago I was on a call lead by some very high up at the company. It was an all company call and we were expected to put ourselves on mute. A woman in one of the offices said “does this guy every stfu?” Thinking she was on mute and she wasn’t. The line went silent. 🤣

Surprised this hasn’t shown up yet

What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.

Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Suddenly I feel self-conscious about it but is it bad that I didn't adjust my skin tone on my reactions in WebEx and slack ? Just default which is yellow .
