TIFU in a meeting with my boss

r/

Today I had a weekly one-on-one with my boss, the sole and managing attorney at a small law firm.

To start, I woke up early this morning to start a beef roast to cook while my fiancé and I are at work. I have a round Alexa, who we named Ziggy, playing a “top hits” playlist on Spotify.

I had it playing while I prepped the roast and brought Ziggy into my office as I began my work day (I WFH). I was listening to the playlist as I started my day and prepped for my meeting at 9.

I always tune in about 5 minutes prior to the meeting starts to prepare topics and check if Teams is set up correctly. The music was off this entire time.

When the meeting finally starts, my Ziggy went off because I received a Blink notification advising there was someone at my front door. It was a false alarm.

Since Ziggy was usually not in my office, I didn’t really think much of it and started to apologize. Not even two seconds later, the Ziggy/Alexa started playing the NEXT SONG ON THE PLAYLIST and it happened to be FTCU by Nikki Minaj? (Sorry if I didn’t spell that right!).

The fucking robot played “Let’s fuck this club up” three times before I could pause it, all while on the meeting with my boss (40-50 M).

I was so embarrassed. My face flushed so red.

My boss was like: “You can take care of that” and I responded with, “no, nobody’s even here.”

I just went on about the meeting, but I cannot stop REELING about how embarrassing it was.

I will definitely be thinking about this for the rest of my life, no big deal. Anyways, I just wanted to share and hopefully get some laughs out of it.

TL;DR today I fucked up in a meeting with my boss // TIFU played during meeting

    These types of situations are happening all the time since more people are working from home, or remotely. I wouldn’t be to worried about it.

    Now you have to start every meeting with a hard song.

    I suggest [a$sp rocky – f***’ problems] (https://youtu.be/liZm1im2erU)

    If you’re a criminal defense lawyer you can just opt for: this classic everytime

    It played 3 times? 10 seconds in just say excuse, toss that bastard into the next room, and continue on.

    You couldn’t like take Ziggy to another room? Or power down? Seriously?

    I don’t know how old you are, but if your boss is 40 to 50 years old, he probably got a little laugh out of it himself
