have grown to love the tension that arises on a zoom call when a single unaware person has noise happening in their background & everyone knows who it is but everyone is also waiting for it to stop on its own so that no one has to do the "...did everyone silence their mic?" thing

I love Zoom meetings! Because they are online, we don’t have to allow time to get from one meeting to the next! We can just have meeting after meeting after meeting!
