    hahaha I went 30 min over my shift bc no one in the Skype chat would answer my question. I literally begged for help. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH if y’all gave me the proper training and not condensed a 12 week training into 2 weeks I wouldn’t need to ask a question 🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • crazypersoncal ash 💞 (@crazypersoncal) reported

    I was devastated, because Alex was trying to help me through my crush and then all of a sudden he couldn't. Luke and I continued talking, this time through Skype. Eventually he started dating one of Alex's friends.

    @Bhaal_Spawn MouseJiggler.exe solves the problem if you can use it. Long story short, I have to use a customer supplied shitbox but I develop on my machine. Shitbox is the only machine that can connect to their VPN, Skype, e-mail.

    Now when I'm watching TV and someone is on Zoom or Skype or some sort of web conferencing platform, I can't help but examine their background. @ratemyskyperoom #roomrater

    @eddie_moser @Barnacules Almost none of those things are the same thing they do not compete with each other that's like saying the telephone company is not a monopoly because there's a Postal Service Twitter Facebook Google search snapchat Tik Tok Skype LinkedIn are all separate non-competing services

  • TEHGJPTDDDO Taj Mahal and the Tijuana Brass (@TEHGJPTDDDO) reported

    I shut down. Completely. Sure, I still posted on my social media, but all this was just a distraction to me. I had no one to talk to. I was on Skype. All of my friends were on Discord. And, my in-person friends? ARE YOU CRAZY? ... That’s what I thought.

  • DanielVivero14 Daniel Vivero (@DanielVivero14) reported

    @rdlarter There are some benefits to the year I guess. After not working for 15 years my wife got a job in a lab testing for Covid. I’m lined up, retired 7 years, to start giving the vaccine. And we’ve discovered the delights of Zoom/Skype/Microsoft Teams/etc. #SilverLining

    @Barclays Many thanks to Barclays Skype customer service! Made a very long call yesterday. The woman who answered my phone call is extremely kind and patient. Even though the problems were quite tricky, she did her best to help me and they were all solved at the end! Thank you!
