Busiest Day Ever
I can’t even tell you how busy this work day has been. I haven’t had a minute over the last four hours where I haven’t been on a conference call. It’s nuts. I have to go pee, and I need to eat lunch, and neither is an option right now and won’t be for a while.
Here’s a cat. I hope it helps.

"I’ve been in quite a few #meetings recently where people are … saying things like “maybe someone could do this thing”. Naturally nobody does.
"While it’s possible that some motivated person will step up anyway, human nature suggests that most people won’t. The specific psychological phenomenon that I’m talking about is an aspect of Social Proof. Since nobody obviously stepped up to help, everyone will assume they aren’t expected to either, and nothing gets done.
"You might think that this will only be true for unimportant things, but that’s not true. In first aid training, I was taught to never say “somebody call 911”, because nobody will. Instead I was taught to point at someone and say “You! Call 911”.
"If you want that action to happen, you need to snap people out of Social Proof. So the next time you hear people using very passive language in a #meeting, call it out: “Who is going to help with that?” Make a decision and get it done. If we don’t then we’re just wasting everyone’s time."
Meetings
File this one under first world problems.
I just want to have some lunch. I usually break at 1:00pm but I was added to a meeting at that time. I punted lunch to 2:00pm but when the 1:00 ended I was added to a 2:00. I tried to reschedule my 3:00pm but I needed to keep it in place.
Dude… I just want to go to lunch. Why can’t I go to lunch? It is 5:00pm now and still no lunch. At least I will be able to have dinner soon.
What a day! Here’s a cat.

Firmen, die sagen "Geil, KI! Müssen unsere MA jetzt immer und überall einsetzen!" sagten auch:
"Wir verbieten unseren Kunden und Geschäftspartnern den Einsatz von KI in Zoom und Teams Meetings, in denen unsere MA teilnehmen."
Providing venue ventilation for COVID-19 is a critical, overlooked problem, as we now know COVID-19 is spread via small droplet aerosols.

Do you recognise this??
The discussion in a team on who has to do a specific task takes more time than just doing the task…
In May 2025, OpenProject 16.0 will remove classic meetings.
They’ll still be available in version 15.5 (coming April 16), but marked as unsupported.
We recommend switching now to take full advantage of one-time and recurring meetings:

A false assumption: Supporting meaningful connections with other attendees is not the conference organizers’ job.
More meeting annoyances. People that seem to only attend meetings so they can show how clever they are by putting memes in the chat incessantly . Yes I just turned off notifications. #meetings
When I was a teenager, I loved to dance. Then something happened, and I stopped dancing.
For 40 years.
In 2003, I went to a workshop and danced again.
I’ve been dancing ever since.
