So I just wanted to write about last Sat, cos it was really epic. We had the zoom for WW IWD and godma being the kan chiong spider as always, asked me to come at 10.30am to set up for the 2pm call. I had set up before so I kinda knew where everything was but it turned out that things weren’t there when I needed them to be ): the webcam was supposed to be in the store but I couldn’t find them. I was certain the projector had hdmi cable but the one I pulled out didn’t have and the laptop we always used was missing :O

After bouts of frustration and swear words I finally managed to fix everything after calling Aly and we went for lunch. We came back about 1.30pm after lunch and even bought snacks/refreshments for the talk. Godma always overbuys, but I’m kinda secretly thankful that she thinks about such stuff even for short talks like this cos tbh I don’t really care if the people coming are hungry or not cos it’s after lunch :P

Anyway, when we came back I popped by the computer room to wake the laptop from sleep and to log into the zoom. Host didn’t let us in yet so all was good, just had to wait. 1.53pm. everyone was in and more or less seated, sonI went to click on the “join video” in the zoom. And BOOM. Laptop hanged. Force shut didn’t work and I panicked. Quickly pulled out another laptop for standby and HAHAHAHAH OMG CANT BELIEVE IT. Screen showed the familiar blue screen “Getting your Windows ready…1% complete” GGWP. 

Tried frantically to force shut the other one again but to no avail. So I quickly took my phone to log into zoom, but no visual footage cos couldnt project my phone to the projector and webcam but at least got sound right? by then I think were already 5 min late?? could hear the host talking le. i panicked more than usual. then as a last resort i went to use our linux computers. tried to download zoom but kenna blocked by network. so just tried to log into zoom using the browser. worked but couldnt join audio cos blocked by network also i guess. HAHAHHA. so pek chek. in the end i left my phone at the front while i went to sit down cos i left it running as the speaker while i played the video on the screen T.T felt so lost being unable to tinker with the phone while listening but at the same time quite surprised that iphone's speakers were quite loud hahha. 

so ya that was the end of my crazy day. proud of my quick reflexes (corporate trained yoz) and im v v v thankful the oldies were so patient! (:
