Internal IM Conversation underneath a conference call with our AT&T wireless rep.

(11:15:48 AM) mwagner: I'm trying to focus on what Jim is saying, but it feels like it's just a solid wave of "BAR BAR BAR BAR BLAH BWAH", like Charlie Brown's teacher.
(11:15:59 AM) $Boss: ha ha
(11:16:01 AM) $Boss: you know what?
(11:16:05 AM) $Boss: I just said the same thing to Heidi
(11:16:09 AM) $Boss: she is having troubles focusing
(11:16:12 AM) $Boss: and so am I
(11:16:13 AM) $Boss: wow
(11:16:24 AM) mwagner: Great minds.
(11:16:36 AM) mwagner: It's this torrent of sound that's supposed to be words but it doesn't mean anything.
(11:16:47 AM) $Boss: ha ha ha!

Goodstuff!

In IBM, when you send a SameTime to another worker if the volume is on it audibly "pings". Since we all work remote and we only ever talk on conference calls you'll often have these kind of awkward moments:

DofusManagerType: We need to better leverage or thought leadership and vision to shift the paradigm to a better alignment of resource opportunities.

*dead silence on the phone line*

then...

ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping pingity ping ping

As everyone ST's each other back and forth IMing "Did he just say that?" or "Boy that was stupid!"

One of many reasons I have sound turned off in Pidgin, and my PC is on mute. :)
