if it's internal you better believe I'm just going to do whatever I want (leave all of the ui defaults exactly as is)

Sometimes if I wanna spice things up I join the meeting early, wait 10 seconds, then leave. This makes a bunch of tryhards also join early and then when I join on time I'm not the first one.

My coworker and I did this in 2006, specifically with the lil jon soundboard. Of course this was before virtual meetings were all the rage but thankfully we were cubicle-mates so we just talked to each other this way.

"Hey nevergirls can you send me that pdf?"
"whaaaaaat!"
"The pdf with the latest figures on it!"
"Okaaaaaay!"

Everyone loved us.
