Things not to say on a web launch call

Wednesday Jan 03, 2007

When releasing new functionality or a new site, there are certain things that should never be said.

"It's not working. Oh, wait, I'm on a PC. Let me reboot."
[toilet flush]
"Here Kitty Kitty"
"Oops, I didn't mean to do that."
Any swear word unless it's in the context of congratulating the team at the end of a successful launch. ("You guys kick BLEEP!")

I've heard all of these said on launch calls.

In addition, something I never want to hear myself say again" "It's not working for you now? Did you clear your cache and cookies?"

My all time favorite phrase heard by a colleague while on a conference call is "Hang on! I'm on the toilet!" He was saying it to a family member who was looking for him. Some people will never master the complexity of the mute button.

Nooooooo. Hysterical. Thank you to work from home for making moments like that possible.
