I am such a geek…

I’ve blogged before on how geeks don’t want to interface directly with people. Today’s example deals with a conference call I was to attend. Well, acutally, I was to run it, but being a manager I pawned that off on someone else. Then he motions from across the cube for me to join the call. Ugh. Ok. Rather than get up out of my chair and walk the twenty feet across the room to his cube I pick up my own phone and dial into the conference call.

So now we have two people, 20 feet apart from each other, with the phone on “speaker”. Everytime he spoke it echoed in my phone. Everytime I spoke it echoed in his phone. The noise was horrible. But being the geek I am, I found it rather humerous so I kept going with it (snort * snort).

The neighbors were finally so ticked they forced me out of my chair and made me join MINOR from his cube. Party poopers. Some people just don’t know how to have fun in the work place.
