Zoom-Meetings machen uns zu seltsamen Menschen

Zoom-Meetings sind anstrengend. Erstens finden sie immer statt. Langsam vermisst man die Zeiten, in denen man angerufen wurde.

Zweitens sind sie mentaler Stress. Ist man wirklich auf stumm geschaltet? Warum reagieren andere nicht auf das, was man gesagt hat? Oh Gott, wie sehen meine Haare eigentlich aus? Hat jemand meinen Namen gesagt? Muss ich jetzt was sagen?

Und drittens: Sie lassen uns socially awkward geben. Es gibt Situationen im Leben, die gibt es so nur in Videocalls. Diese zwölf Beispiele, haben wir sicherlich alle schon mal erlebt. Oder? Oder? ODER?

Why do I feel compelled to WAVE at the end of Zoom calls? I have literally never walked out of a meeting room WAVING. pic.twitter.com/fSMS7UQLtt

Anyone else finding Zoom meetings challenging because they show your own Resting Bitch Face staring back? Just me?

Gonna update my CV to say "survived 1000 Zoom calls that should've been an email" as part of my achievements in 2020.

World: To have a successful WFH day, start your day with a shower, coffee, go outside, get some exercise. Have a nice morning and treat it like a normal workday.

Me: Wakes up 4 minutes before my first call.

I was just on a Zoom call that ended automagically after 40 minutes because the organizer was on a free tier. This is the single greatest advance to meeting productivity that I’ve ever seen. Would pay extra for this feature.

Did you know it’s physically impossible NOT to talk at the exact same time as the other person during a zoom meeting? It’s going to happen and it is going to be awkward.

New awkward moment for our times: the few seconds of resting bitch face between saying goodbye to everyone in a zoom meeting and figuring out how to leave it.

Just got disconnected from a friend on FaceTime and neither of us called the other one back. That’s real friendship.
