I had to attend an online business meeting yesterday. The meeting was for training on some new software that we will be using. This meeting was conducted on Go to Meeting.com..
As I am in the midst of an eleven day "home alone" period of time, Cheryl attended the meeting rather than my male self. The meeting was held in the mid-afternoon and was scheduled to last three hours. As I was going out for an early dinner after the meeting, I had begun my preparations and was dressed in only my bra and panties.
The presentation was, primarily, audio with slides. All attendees had been granted the privilege to speak whenever a question came up. It was a rather dry presentation and, as I have used this software before in an earlier iteration, I had a general idea about how to use it. So, I was multi-tasking. I work from home, therefore, my multi-tasking consisted of paying a couple of bills.
As I said, attendees could speak up whenever they had a question. What I did not know was that by speaking up the website activated the computer camera so that the other attendees could see the person posing the question. In the course of paying a particular bill I made a comment to myself about the bill. Bingo! Voice activation occurred. My live picture appeared on the screen for all to see.
This could have been life-changing for me, but, my picture turned out to be only my face sans make-up and it was only slightly larger than a passport picture. The straps from my bra did not make an appearance on camera. Whew!
Later, I was able to laugh about this. Although, I mused about the implications had my picture had been from the mid-chest area and up. At least, I did have a pretty bra on had that happened. A couple of colleagues with whom I work and who I know fairly well were in attendance. My relationship with these women would have, likely, been changed forever.
