I was wrapping up a client Zoom meeting and messaging my girlfriend on the side. She had just sent me the sweetest text ever, and my heart was soft.
So when I ended the call, I unmuted and said: “Thanks everyone, great progress today! Okay, love you, bye!”
Immediate silence. Then a few chuckles. Then one guy said, “Love you too, man.”
I wanted to die. I fumbled through a recovery like, “I was uh, talking to my dog… who is in my lap…” (There was no dog.)
The worst part? This was a new client. First big meeting. My boss later Slacked me, “Well, at least they know we care deeply about deliverables.”
I now double-check my windows, tabs, and entire soul before speaking.
TL;DR: Meant to text “I love you” to my girlfriend, said it aloud in a corporate Zoom meeting. My boss will never let it go.
