LPT: much like a gun is always loaded, a microphone during a work Zoom is always unmuted

Oof I had a colleague that would always jump on client meetings under my Zoom account with me because we were the only ones in my office location that worked on these projects. Most were working out of our home office.

She would ALWAYS be swearing and freaking out about the client when the mute wasn't on (that was our toughest client, I totally understood her frustration). I finally had to tell her we need to take the calls separately after the 3rd time it happened, because it would show up as me in the meeting freaking out because it was my account lol.

She did this on video call with another client too, but in that one she was leading the meeting and throwing up her hands in the air out if frustration. She was also sharing her screen, so I had to send my colleague sitting next to her a reminder that we're on video and to nudge her. That was a really easy going client too- she was just frustrated because she was new to the project.

She was wild and a super fun person, but I hated working with her sometimes lol.
