I hate getting on a conference call in our office - we're all in 6x6 green
metal hamster boxes in a room with a low ceiling (yes, this is the
brand-new hospital. We're not a revenue-generating department, so they've
jammed us into as small a space as they could) and even if you whisper,
everyone can hear you. Imagine 5 of us, all dialed into the same
conference bridge, all on slightly different time delays, combined with the
actual acoustic sound.
Yep. Instant headache.
