During the pandemic, my son orchestrated a prank wherein during one session, the entire class kept telling the teacher she was on mute, despite it not actually being the case, and she spent the whole hour-long period trying to solve the non-existent technical problem. The responsible thing to do would probably have been to put a stop to it but I was just so impressed by his ability to coordinate this with 30 kids that I just couldn’t.
Today, we had a meeting with one of our customers and they couldn’t get their mic to work, but we decided to continue anyways.
So, the whole meeting was us just talking and then watching them give a thumbs-ups into the camera or typing into chat. It was very surreal…
“You’re on mute.”

That kid is going places. Detention, but places.
Demonstrating leadership and resourcefulness with limited resources and no budget. That’s some quality manager material.
Make sure that ends up on the university application and resume.
Wow, that is impressive coordination.

Goodness I take speech and all my other abilities for granted.
