    Listen for the dog bark or flushing toilet from those WFH and too lazy to mute their mic.

    My wife's sales guys all use the term "windshield time" when they are on the road.

    I agree. I’ve always assumed it originated from conference calls/Skype meetings or something of that nature. That said, it gets said so much I suppose I just sort of picked it up.

    I will say however it does give the sense that you intend to still address whatever issue is being discussed. Anytime someone says let’s talk about this later it always felt like they were just blowing it off because they didn’t want to deal with it. But that could just be me.

The biggest challenge facing us is our scalability to properly deliver established best practices and....

    Response: so that's a no, you wont be hitting your forecast.

    How many times I have used this instead of "Hey, you know that NDA you signed, why don't you just announce to everyone on the call that you were part of that "issue".
