ahem!

it's always so strange to do conference calls. because when you want to interject, it's always so awkward. i had a conference call this morning to europe. only i wasn't the one running the meeting. so i had to be quiet most of the time. but when i did speak up, i just felt like i was interrupting.

i think i feel so awkward because i'm used to running meetings rather than just listen in. at school i'm the meeting coordinator a lot of times and i try to give the group direction to get certain things accomplished. it's not that i really want to lead. but i get frustrated with slow meetings so i'd rather get things moving. although sometimes i get lazy and i don't volunteer myself...but it's funny because i think people just expect me to lead sometimes. so they'll ask me...so when are you going to set up that meeting? are you going to send out an email? haha... weird. do i come off as a bossy person?

at the end of the conference call i felt the need to reiterate all the major points since there was so many things that needed to be done after the call. i thought that if it wasn't reviewed, people would forget the smaller yet important details. and we are trying to have the finished product out by friday so any time saved from further editing is a big deal. but it wasn't my meeting...so i refrained.
