JunkOfTheMonth.com

So, as background on the following story, there's a long(er) story from Tuesday that resulted in Mel, Crystal and I deciding we would start a website called JunkOfTheMonth.com that would feature photos of guys in skimpy, tight clothing.

[fast forward]

Today we were attending a vendor training teleconference and we were having massive technical difficulties on both ends. It started when we couldn't get our projector to work. When the audiovisual equipment was finally hanging together with chewing gum and hope, we dialed into the videoconference, introduced everyone in our room and accidentally hung up, instead of pressing Mute.

We called in again, but the previous call was still connected and our company "hold" music was softly annoying everyone. The vendor just went with it and started their presentation.

Then their trainer couldn't get their "awesome new" system to work. While he was dorking around with it, we disconnected from the meeting, on both the phone and the net, and called/logged in again.

Then two sets of our company elevator music were playing in the background. The vendor had us all leave the meeting, set up a new meeting, sent invites, and we all logged in and called in again.

All would have been fine, except that their product still wasn't working. It was just sort of funny at that point.

Also, we had an mystery phone attendee on the meeting screen.

Crystal (whispering): Hackers.
Me: Stealing corporate secrets.
Crystal: Any minute now, we'll start getting popups.
Me: That's how we'll advertise our new website, hacking into company videoconferences with "JunkOfTheMonth.com. Click here..."And a sample photo...
Crystal: Those would be some fun meetings. The ladies would be like, "Oh my gosh. Did you see that? How distasteful." And then later, "Did someone get that URL to... um... record in the minutes?"

Ahaha.
