Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OMG, how come people don't know how to use conference lines?
Did I tell the story about the 30-person telecon I was on a few weeks ago, in which someone put the call on HOLD? We had ten minutes of John Philip Sousa before the meeting organizers gave up.

Luckily the company that hosts our calls has operators that are pretty snappy about disconnecting the person with the music. It saves about a call a month, when the person doesn't come back in a couple minutes acting all sheepish saying "Oh, was that the hold button?" YES AND WE HATESSS IT ALWAYSSSS.
My home phone was specifically chosen to have a mute button. Most phones have them these days, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Ooh, that's brilliant.
I was on a huge webinar the other day that somehow got patched into someone else's call. That was kind of awesome, in a terrible way. And it must have been that, since all lines were muted by the concall company, aside from the presenters, and it definitely wasn't them...
You know what opera term I hate- "Sitzprobe" [link] I am not so fond of "wandel-probe" either.
I officially don't hate any opera terms, but I'm willing to side with you on principle, Sophia.
I have had quite the productive morning. I saw my orthopod this morning and I will be having shoulder surgery on March 8th. It is outpatient and I should have full use of my arm pretty much after surgery. Yay?
The imaging office is downstairs from the orthopedic office, so I stopped into schedule a mammogram (I try to do them around my birthday and I'm a over a week late). Well, guess what? They were able to do it right then, so squish, squash, boom, I was done.
Now I'm trying to get caught up on work and figure out what work I need to shuffle so I can take off a couple of days for the surgery.
Oh, that's a nice one, Laura, I was just looking at that one at Bass Pro on our last trip.

I'm going to repeat that to myself when I go. Which I should do ... any day now.
1-800-Contacts managed to send me the wrong contacts, because when they verified the prescription with the doctor, they FAXED THE WRONG ONE. So I was pretty sure my eyes had gone completely bad earlier. That was fun.
Happy birthday, Laura!
Go Holli! I'm so excited for you!
I feel slightly less like death warmed over today, but not by much.
Oh- and Happy Birthday!
