Me mechanic not speak English. But he know what me mean when me say "car no go", and we best friends.

Are these two joking, or serious? Can’t tell... On my first Zoom call, my video started unexpectedly, which was super embarrassing as I was WFH and we all know what that means.

Because it's not terrible duh!

Love it--the quality of the video and audio is above anything else I've worked with, including Bluejeans.

Then what am I doing wrong? I’ve always had audio issues whether I’m on a phone or my pc, even if I’m hard-wired in at the office

1. I’m a pandemic hire at this new agency and I like it enough, but I feel SO detached from all these humans I’ve never interacted with IRL… like, I just don’t give a flying fuck about these team-building zoom calls. :(

2. My boyfriend and I often just go off cam / mute during the more useless meetings and have sex instead. I secretly hope everyone who is muted/cam off in meetings is getting some action.

Hi everyone! I’m switching internally to my company’s LA office (from Boston). I only need to be in the office 1 or 2x per week and am toying around with the idea of living in San Diego and commuting up that one day. It’s likely be a 2.5hr drive or so each way, which seems like a lot. Can anyone speak to whether or not I’d go insane with that setup or if there are ways to make it more tolerable? I just have more family / friends in SD and would prefer to live there if possible :) thank you!!
