2 hours? That sounds marvelous! Right now I get all caffeinated and then tether myself to a headset for 8 hours lol

That’s why I made my work buy me a wireless headset.

That way when I’m locked in a 5 hour call for something I have no input on or care about I can at least get up and make myself a few cups of coffee

Do you ever have to note or recall information afterwards? Because for me it wouldn’t be the sitting in a call for 5 hours part that would be the problem, it would be someone asking me to tell them anything that happened in it that would be the problem. I couldn’t even tell you who was in it

I have trigger words that snap my attention into the call. I support the infrastructure for a cloud app. Most calls are on the app layer so I couldn’t care less. It’s only when the infrastructure gets mentioned I need to listen.

Yes I do take notes

They won’t give us wireless ones unless there’s some kind of medical exception… The managers get them but we don’t. I would buy my own but every time I try to use any of my own equipment IT freaks the fuck out about it

We learned the magic words at my company.

Health and safety

Say that and they back down.

My work take h&s super serious. He’ll just today the upper management held a 90 min meeting right across lunch time that included a segment on how important it is that you get away from your PC during lunch.

No there are jobs that have 5 hour meetings while you watch your backlog pile up an extra 5 hours
