In my line of work, there is much liaison with our counterparts and customers. It isn't easy having to keep up with their requirements and requests via email, as a lot gets lost in the translation. Thus, we have video conferencing meetings every month, to facilitate things.

There was one particular video conferencing meeting which I found particularly funny. Most of the time, it would be our counterparts who'd be dialing in to our number. So there we were, waiting for the call. Once connected, they saw us, and started the meeting immediately. They went on and on, yakkity yak; what they didn't realise was, their microphone wasn't switched on! They were so engrossed in their figures, their documents, etc, that they didn't even realise that we have not said our greetings, nor did they even look up to see our flailing arms to indicate that we couldn't hear them. It was an amusing sight indeed.

My man and I do our very own lil' video conferencing ourselves. But for that ... well, let's just say, it's very private. And I mean VERY private *wink wink*.
