I attended a call this morning to prep the
speakers for Lotusphere and basically overview some items about branding,
naming and other assorted items. (list to follow in next post today) I
know I missed some of them as I went into conference call zone.
Conference Call Zone
- (n.) First discovered in late 1980's by executives and sales people
that spent enormous amounts of time on speakerphone or headset. Later
found to be enticing way to never have to visit a customer. Technical
geeks soon acquired this skill and further enhanced with such tools as
webcameras, audio over the Internet and Instant Messaging.
Once said person enters the zone, the mind
of the participant shall wander aimlessly through the desert known as the
inner self. At which time, said person shall reflect on things with
no meaning. For example, how many paper clips attached together does
it take to go from my office door to my desk? Is that an official
measurement? Can this old cup of coffee on my desk really grow a
small fuzzy animal from it over time? How many times can I spin the
stress balls without dropping them? Do I really remember whose business
card this is? How did a piece of granola get stuck between the J
and K keys on my keyboard (heck, I don't ever remember even liking granola).
Wow, this little toy laser light from the conference really does
burn my eyes looking into it.
The only know remedy for entering the zone
is a slap from a co-worker to the back of the head, spilling hot liquid
on your pants or your head hitting the desk as you nod off, thereby leaving
a lump the size of a kiwi fruit for the rest of the day on your forehead.
