There was a conference call today, the first time that the new committee is meeting.
There were a couple directors on the call, some managers, and some analysts.
For some reason my throat started tickling.
So I put my phone on mute and somehow ended up coughing like a crazy person.
I coughed so hard that our admin who sits across from me came by and asked if I needed some medicine.
After the meeting my co-worker asked me why I didn't speak up.
I said, "I did! Were you sleeping?"
Ahhhhhh!!! It turns out that something's wrong with my phone and it's all backwards.
I'm not muted when I mute it.
I'm muted when I don't mute it.
I can't stand people that make so much noise on a conference call. It's so rude!
Now I'M that person! (Yes, they all knew it was me.)
I was coughing right into the mouth piece, too!
And I didn't respond when I was supposed to.
Ahhhhh!! I'm SO embarrased.
Waaaahhhhh…..
This calls for a chocolate bar.

oh no. you deserve the chocolate bar.
hope you're ok now. i have that crazy cough too and i've been sleep-deprived.
aww, poor Judy! Technology... such a blessing and a curse.
Let's do dinner and I'll treat you to a chocolate bar! Shoot me an email and let me know what your schedule is like in the next week or two - I'd love to catch up again!
uh-oh, oopsies.
maybe you can apologize over email or over next conference call. or is it better left unsaid?make your cough go away!
everyday in a woman's life calls for a chocolate bar. DOVE CHOCOLATE. next time while you're coughing and people are staring, don't be afraid to use your special finger...
ya, i know about crazy cough. it happens to me at work yesterday. i had to rush to the bathroom to cough so I will not disturb everyone.... sigh...!!!
oh no, I hope the chocolate helped. haha
A shot of tequila may work as well.
For me, chocolate makes me cough more..that's strange...
A few months back, I ate some chocolate during sermon and afterwards, I had a hard time singing...haha...
Gotta love technology!
