Loved it! You forgot heavy breathing, wind from someone walking, a person picking up another call and hold music playing on the line, and a toilet flush thrown in for good measure.

Also, trying to isolate a high pitched feedback sound due to an open mic, which interrupts about nine-tenths of the conference call that your department was forced to endure, while trying to meet a deadline.

It was new 11 years ago and we all experienced the pain. At that point we all thought it was just going to be for certain departments in a company. 2020 Covid we accept dogs, cats African Greys, children running into your call. But this will stay special it was part of my daily live as a PM. Thanks

If it hasn't specified Citizens Bank, I would have sworn we worked for the same company. The only thing possibly missing - but maybe you're lucky and people you work with know about phone etiquette - is the person who joins, hears a conversation in progress, but MUST interrupt with a "Hi! Jane Doe just joined". Thanks for sharing. I needed the chuckle.

Suggestions of other things to add: - birds angrily chirping - the heavy breather (ala Darth Vader) - the person who puts the whole conf call on hold and everyone gets the hold music - the person who forgot to mute the office phone and starts talking on their cell phone (and everyone gets to hear his conversation) - the person who forgot to mute the office phone and lets out a big burp ... and yes, these are all true experiences... no joke :-)

I made my husband and kids watch this (I needed to show they what my day is like - I work from home). I spend between 5-7 hours a day on conference calls and this clip is 100% reality. You've packaged it and presented it perfectly.
