Sorry, the connection was choppy. Can you say that again?
This is my go-to as well. “I’m sorry, my audio dropped out, I didn’t quite catch that”.
“Ich habe Sie akustisch nicht verstanden.”
Just in case you are on with the German clients and you need the correct expression.
Semantisch auch nicht, aber das geht mir jeden Tag so.
I’m stealing this. This is smooth as fuck.
So glad that my team is largely composed of busy tech folk because going “Sorry I was multitasking” is a valid response haha.
Unless you’ve got some guy who knows multitasking is a bunch of bullshit and you just weren’t paying attention and is enough of a dick to say it
Multitasking (or multipasking as it is known to Finnish speaking people) is not bullshit, but trying to focus on several things at once and fucking up each one of them.
“multipasking” is brilliant!
It really sucks that that makes you a dick, but yeah…
Calling people out for lying about spacing out during boring and mostly meaningless meetings is kinda a dickish move. Worker solidarity and all.
It makes sense to do it if you’re management, I guess, but even then… Help each other out. Middle management has more in common with the lower level workers than they do with upper management.
Oh. Thanks. The scenario I had in mind was kinda the opposite.
The dickish part is making a big deal about it in the video call, not acknowledging the reality itself
Disassociate from a group, dissociate in your brains
For some of us, it’s both.
Can everyone see my screen?
Yes, but you accidentally shared the one with the porn.
And your taste sucks, smh
Sucking is kinda the point though.
This one is my pet peeve. Please just trust the technology, people will let you know if your screen is not visible.
I frequently join meetings where someone is going on a whole explanation and 10 minutes later someone asks if he is sharing anything. So he starts over.
It’s beneficial to declare that you’re going to share your screen, but without waiting for someone to confirm that your screen is visible, as it’s more or less frictionless to declare it but high friction to wait for confirmation.
Maybe our friction tolerance is different. It also confirms engagement to ask.
I read it as a wild and free traveling cowboy, tricked by a sneaky man dressed as a rabbit. The rabbit-man invites him to a zoom call which in this world is inescable, bringing him to his fate as the boring businessman man in the last panel.
Are you an office drone dreaming you’re a cowboy or a cowboy dreaming you’re an office drone?
Sorry, I’m here but I’m not all there.
Fuck zoom
Fuck. I hate this. Stop it.
Guys, I’m embarrassed but I got to ask: can someone explain how it should be understood?
No, I’m not making fun of it. I legitimately don’t understand it and I would like to.
From the other comments I get it’s something about video calls at home and maybe people yelling while on them? I’m confused because the guy walking on the horse is also relevant (perhaps in minding his business and being disturbed by others yelling)?
man was dissociating during a work zoom call while thinking about dissociating and whether it was “dissociating” or “dissasociating”. he was pulled from his daydream by the person in the call asking him if Thursday was good. then they’re all waiting for his answer and he doesn’t even know what was asked.
Ooooh, now it makes sense! Thanks!!! I’ve been that guy several times, getting lost in my thoughts, so I see why everyone could relate to this strip!

not quite
Disassociate from somebody, or something you are associated with. Mentally dissociate. Is that right?
This feels like the ending to Terry Gilliam’s Brazil (the real ending, not the Americanized bullshit version).
You’re on mute!
The two prefixes (dis and as) mean the opposite, so when you choose one you need to remove the other
Nah, I’m gonna ociate.
What if I associate these terms with the same thing?
Once you see the logic it will be ok
test 2
Sorry, can you run that by me again?
