Ha, thanks. To give a 30 Rock example of what it probably looked like:

Liz Lemon wolfs down her Teamster's Sub rather than throw it away at the airport

But replace "teamster's sub" with 5 tacos from a local Mexican place.

Oof! If it's any consolation, a lot of ASL's interpretation also comes from body language and facial expression, so he probably knew what you meant lol.

Nice! Always annoying when things grind to a standstill waiting for review.

Certainly accidental on my part, but I'll choose to see it that way haha.

I definitely feel less awful now, but not sure if I'm gonna make this my thing. 😆

There's a place nearby that delivers, and they were pretty amazing.

Ooof. I've accidentally done that (though on a less important system), but thankfully was able to get in via iLO console to reset it.

Didn't even think of it like that! I like the way you think.

[–] Astronaut_M_Dexter@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

So true. As long as I learned something (and I did!) from the experience. 🤣

No, I work remotely as do about 1/3 of my department. So they were either at their desks at home or the office. The vendors seemed to be setup similarly, so thankfully, wasn't on a big screen in a conference room. (whew!)

I definitely feel better after sharing and laughing about it LOL.

Same about the "post-covid reintegration into society awkwardness". Definitely struggled there, too.

 

I got stuck on a lunchtime video conference today with some people in my department and a vendor. I hate meetings at noon, but with timezones being a factor, it was the only available time the vendor could meet. Usually, I'm only on these for technical consultation, so I rarely need to speak other than to clarify a point or answer questions about our infrastructure. Those are usually toward the end of the meeting.

That said, I just muted myself and ate at my desk because I was starving and would have plenty of time to eat a quick bite before it got to the point where I had to say anything.

What I did not realize was that even though I was muted, my webcam was on. So 6 people I work with plus three vendors all watched me eat a bag of tacos, and no one said anything!

Like, when I eat a taco with people around, I do eat it in a dignified way. Less so when I'm alone (or think I'm alone) and wolfing it down before I have to do something So, yeah, it was not a pretty sight.

I'm still mortified, but at least I am laughing about it as I'm typing this out.

Perhaps you can summarize your theories in the post instead. "In the Pale Moonlight" is an epic episode, so it would make for a good read.
