Maybe I should stop
04.23.08 (4:56 pm)   [edit]

Most of the people on my team are in Australia, and every week we have a teleconference. It seems like videoconferencing is the new norm now. I have a webcam at home which is where I'd be doing my conferencing if it was late in the day. But today, it was in the office. My office mate and I sat near my PC for the call. She didn't want to go on camera.

It was hard to concentrate since the phone was on another desk. I just kept checking myself out on cam and instead of listening to what my manager was saying, I was just watching all the other people on camera. 

It took a lot for me to resist doing goofy things, too. I've webcammed plenty of times before, but it's always been with boyfriends. I often forget if the camera is rolling.

I would be dangerous if I had a webcam.

I hope you were more reserved than you might be if talking to a boyfriend!

I must remind myself that webcamming with coworkers is supposed to be a professional thing!!!

Using a webcam CAN be dangerous mind you, I've never really used mine mostly because I Skype and it if works with Skype, I haven't looked around enough to figure out how! Plus then there's this added pressure of looking decent. Blah, I can't be bothered! At least with just voice I can wear PJs!

I know webcamming works with Skype! I've seen it in action! I figured it was only fair to be on cam since other team members were, too. Before I know, I'll probably even make small talk!
