Some comic relief. I’ve been on calls like this.
Here are some tips on avoiding this pain at our nonprofits…

I loved the part where the dog is barking. I have a board member that always calls in from home and either her kids are making a ton of noise or she is having work done in the house.
Hah, that’s classic hate to say I’ve been on the worse end of those several times.
As the owner of a Rottweiler and a long time enjoyer of conference calls…. this was sensational.
The only thing better than the humor was the truth associated with the often experienced conference experience.
Thank you for sharing.
The only thing that could have made it even worse is to have had technical difficulties with sound feedback or telephone signal drop-out as I have had.
Oh wow that was pretty bad, and I’m glad that hasn’t happen to me yet.. knock on wood!
Omg! That is so true. Almost every conference call I have ever been on that has lasted an hour, could have been done in 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, I have been on way too many of these calls. We even got to hear someone making dinner & watching TV when they forgot to mute their phones.
Oh well…gotta love technology.
