The Cozy Corner

What could a 2-hour meeting even be about?!

Our data warehouse transition.

My question for everyone that has Teams meets. Why does it seem like you get a group on a meet, and no one has their camera on? Couldn't we just have done this on a conference call then? We aren't sharing documents. WTH?

I don’t have a phone with conference call ability. (I don’t think!)

 

[cocokittysurprise]

The worst … in person or remote?

Remote... thank goodness!

Oh I know this pain far too well. My sympathies.

Right over my head!

Plus it makes it easier for scheduling, just send an invite & click on the link when it’s time.

Stop using logic on me. It is Monday afternoon.

I don't have a phone at work anymore. Everything is on teams

 

[cheekygirl75]

It just kind of hit me that there have been almost 21,000 posts here in about 5-6 weeks!! That’s wild

I don'y have a phone at work anymore. Everything is on teams

I suppose that would be a cost savings move. No hardware for the phone system.

You're welcome

Occasionally, someone will ask me for my work phone number. I have no idea. I think I have one, but I have no idea what it is because like you we use teams for everything

It is purely coincidental that is roughly when I found the Cozy Corner.

 

[Nylonian]

Really? That's awesome! Don't know what I would do if I met her!

Yeah it's become a running joke that she's Olivia's friend now.

Precisely

It's not in your email signature?

I love it, cause it appeals to the logical side of me, but if you don't like schematics/data models, pipeline flows, data governance, etc. it can be mind-numbing LOL

We have a Teams license, but my direct team/reports hiss like a pack of rabid cats whenever anyone even mentions it by name. We just do a combo of Zoom + Slack LOL

Actually, I sort of get it. I was a project manager for a data center / colocation facility before I resigned. I didn't sit though those meetings but I did sit through the construction phase side of it and managed multiple vendors for each project.

And @Nylonian - yeah I’ve fell down the rabbit hole of fountain pen ink. I’ve learned filling the converter is not hard and YouTube taught me how to clean the pen properly. Bought a couple supplies for that that and a new pen….

Oh nice. Which one did you get? Can't wait to see some writing samples from it. Cleaning is not hard at all but can be annoying to do when you have a lot of pens inked up. That's why I only keep 2-3 pens inked up these days and use dip pens for when I just wanna play/doodle.

Same. I always ask for meetings to be rescheduled (politely) whenever someone suggests Teams...

I could never do what you do. I just make sure that pricing and promotion data is correct for coffee machines and occasionally meet with roasters about beans and attend conventions. Oh that and make the site look pretty but that's pretty straightforward.

[Nylonian]

Kinda weird now it's over though, it's like now what?
Not quite really but it feels like that

Congratulations! And yeah, it do be like that. Kinda how I felt when I finished Elden Ring. It's like: "That was freaking amazing. Nothing will ever top that. Also, what do I do now?"

It's only a joke if it's not already true.
