SKL Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Does anyone else dread conference calls where you may be asked to contribute something substantive, or questioned about your responsibilities? I feel like running away every time. Have to do breathing exercises and such. Feel like life as I know it is about to end. Can't think about anything else for some time before a call. After 25 years of work-related calls, you would think one would get used to it. Nope. Just thought I'd post to see if this is a common problem among women. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Oh and I have a friend who has the opposite problem - she can blab but she freaks out if she has to write something. I have no problem writing. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Library Momma Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I work from home and I am always worried my dog will start barking when I unmute my phone to speak. Actually contributing only makes me nervous if the owner or CEO is on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I work from home and the neighbors / service people always seem to do their loud maintenance stuff during my conference calls. :P I don't worry about that though. When my kids were babies, I used to worry that they would make noise during my conference calls, but they usually didn't. Except the one contentious call when my then-2yo shouted, "I have to go POO POO!" :P Serves them right for calling me during dinner time!

zoobie Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I don't miss them with judges, especially surprise conference calls. DH loves them, so here you go, hon. Assuming I ever get out of the house again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
