I dialed into a teleconference for work this morning from my team host house in California. Because there are people nearby talking and moving around, I immediately muted my phone.
As the automated teleconference line added me into the group call, I was instructed, “Please announce yourself!”
I un-muted the phone to say my name and company affiliation. Just then, a teammate standing right behind me loudly asked, “Do we have any more toilet paper?”
I have never felt more announced.
