the state of academia during summer months:
my coworker: I forgot my work phone, fuck!
me: it's okay. If they really need you, they can find your contact information on our website and call the office. don't stress
her: but I wanted to watch a movie between tasks.
me: ... why not on your private phone?
her: IT DOESN'T HAVE A HEADPHONE JACK
we need to bring headphones jacks back to save workers!
@reginasbread They do make cheap headphones with the new ends so she can use it on her personal phone 😄
@stephaniepixie
I told her that today, and she rolled her eyes and said, "That's not the point!" I guess she likes the thrill of watching stuff on the company phone on said company time 😅
@reginasbread That’s fair. I guess the company doesn’t check too closely what people do with their phones? No way I’d want them to know what I watch even if it’s harmless stuff.
@reginasbread my new phone doesn't have one either so I bought a USB-C to audio jack adapter and can use my old 3,5 mm headphones with it 🤭
@tjanekane
yep. that's the way!
