BlueJeans sucks. We had to use that like five years ago and I remember not liking it. The app is on my system somewhere. I’m gonna delete it.

All of them suck. We primarily use Teams, but some companies we work with use Zoom. Neither is worth a shit, but Teams seems particularly glitchy.

We’re phasing out WebEx & Skype to primarily use Teams but one group uses zoom, mostly because of their breakout rooms, I think, but now we’re adding it to the teams licenses so we’ll see if IT lets them keep using it. Probably will because it’s Sales and they’re crybabies.

We still use Skype for IM. Teams has IM functionality as well, but it isn’t as good. Our IT tried to get people to move off Skype completely, but people weren’t having it. You’d think Microsoft would be smart enough to merge the best features of both platforms, but they apparently aren’t.

Yeah, IT is trying to migrate us to Teams chat right now, but Skype for sure is going to be a hard habit to break. Same for quick phone calls, but I guess we’re moving our soft phones to teams, too. I wish that when I’m on a teams call, my Skype status would automatically adjust to “in a meeting” so people would be less likely to interrupt me... but that’s only a teensie speed bump.Dummies still ping no matter the status.

I've been in a big tech company where the infighting among the groups who wanted competing platforms clashed because the division that lost out was going to get "right sized". There are groups with vested interests in keeping those functionalities separate.

The Chinese students I went to grad school with had a weird fascination with that service.

Today it smells like cocaine. Turns out that was a candle my Wife bought called 'Leather & Money'.

Hahaha.
I get how the smell of money could make one thing of cocaine, but leather???

Did you, like, used to do a bunch of blow then get into S&M, or something?

Actually, on second thought, don't answer that.
I don't think I want to know. :)
 
Decided to make chile verde today because a nice little pork shoulder was on sale (they are usually giant 10+ beasts and this one was 4lbs), but i forgot to get cilantro, so it's not super green. More like chile marrón because I also added dried chiles and browned the meat quite a bit. Tastes decent, but the color is not right. :sigh:
