there’s a meeting in everyone’s calendar on the last day of every month. it’s not an actual meeting but just a reminder for everyone to submit timesheets for the month. it’s called BOOK TIME and some people use it as a book club :3:

this describes most people at my company. although macbooks are pretty good at eliminating echo/feedback after the first few seconds

i'm one of very few dorks who uses a headset, but i'm usually wearing it for music listening purposes anyway

About 10 years ago I worked at a company with a young guy that did this. Every loving meeting we were in, he'd never mute himself and I guess echo canceling tech wasn't what it is today... we'd keep asking him to mute when he wasn't speaking because we'd get constant echo and feedback.

He was a scrum master too so sitting around in meetings was basically his job
