  • 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...
