Suggestion for those working at home during the pandemic (little late, I realize)

[Glamrock]

Ya wanna be aware of your surroundings prior to any Zoom/Teams/Skype video meeting.

Case in point. If you happen to have a four foot poster of Bob Marley twisting one up over your right shoulder, it's best to be aware prior to said meeting.



This public service announcement brought to you by Brother Glamrock who says, learn from my mistakes. Don't repeat them.

1. I've had a couple of Zoom meetings turn into cat shows.

I always wear pants but I can't control the cat.

7. Sweet Judy Blue Eyes did that to me.

I was asked to remove her because her cuteness was distracting!

2. I think at this point as long as you don't "pull a Toobin"

you’re ok.

I don’t have a camera. My home office is the recliner in the den. Hey! It’s called a laptop for a reason.

4. Oh pants!

I wish I could work off one. Currently rocking four monitors!

I is jealous!

17. Lol!

3. Recently, I was on a Zoom meeting

One of the participants was sitting in an easy chair and had a cocktail on his side table.

Another fellow kept digging out of camera range and then he'd come back red-faced as if he'd just toked.

Me, I'm independent so I just smoke without making a big deal out of it.

Your poster looks great, by the way!

5. Grassy ass!

[PoliticAverse]

6. And please, wear pants! n/t

[Glamrock]

9. Always!

They may be Stones Pj's or Beatles or Jim Beam, but I isn't nekkid!

8. My camera is off

With black tape over it.

That came in handy the other day when the software decided I wanted the camera on. It would have been ok, but I’m happier with it off.

Interesting that there is some regionality to who turns on cameras. Some areas tend to use it. People who do use their camera tend to stop when a quorum doesn’t.

10. It was the first Microsoft Teams meeting we had as opposed to conference call.

Never thought about it until I saw my pic with Bob over me shoulder and.... SHIT!! FUCK! THIS AIN"T GOOD! Turn the camera man!

12. When I lead meetings

I have my camera on but I dont mind if my employees want to keep theirs off. Its up to them.

11. Not sure why a Bob Marley poster would be controversial.

but whatever. You can setup zoom to use a custom background.

[Glamrock]

13. It's not Bob that's controversial. Take a look at the pic.

He’s rolling a joint....

[drray23]

14. eheh is that controversial those days ?

unless you are toking while on the call you should be good.😉😉

[Glamrock]

16. Oh no. Def not toking on the call.

But it included three levels above me. Probably right not a big deal, but definitely better they don’t know me lifestyle, right? It is a corporate environment after all...

15. I use a virtual office background

That way I don't have to make my bed.

18. Why not use the virtual Four Seasons Lawn Care

They changed the posters to read "DUMP 2020" so it would be more fun.

19. aw man I LOVE that picture
