Web meeting

First I clicked a web address in the email from a meeting host. A website for the meeting opened. Then in the web page I entered my name, email address, and password that I was given the day before from the meeting host. There appeared my presentation slides on my computer screen. Then I dialed a given toll free number. Immediately the line connected to somewhere and a familiar voice came from a speaker saying "hello, toshi-san, how アール you?".
I answered "hello, who is speaking please?"
"Oh, you don't recognize my voice?"
"Just kidding. Who can forget the heavy Indian accent."
"Hahaha, I thought so. Today, B-san joins us from the US office."
"Hello, toshi-san, I'm B, how are you doing?"
Thus the meeting got started. From Japan a sales engineer A-san and I attended and 2 from zurich and 1 from US, so 5 people talked over the phone (with loud speaker) at the same time.
The web meeting was actually a good system. You can't see the faces of the participants but you can share the same slides and you all know what is being talked about by looking at them. Sometimes conversation over the phone is not clear enough to catch but if you look at slides that show a related picture or summary, it helps you a lot to make up the missing parts.
We sometimes have TV meetings in which we can talk literally face to face. But usually we can't see the presentation slides clearly. It is not participants faces but presentation material that we need in our discussion.
Good point about web meeting is nobody knows if you are sleeping. The sales engineer beside me started to nod in a doze a few minutes after the meeting started as I was explaining my slides. I couldn't sleep because most of the time I was speaking and answering questions.
Finally the Indian guy said "Ok, toshi-san, I find this report quite interesting and hope our client will like it too. What do you think, A-san?"
I looked at him. Now he bent his head down with his arms crossed, fast asleep.
I said "A-san's left. He must have something urgent to do."
At this moment he woke up and said somehow "Yes. yes." He never fails to repeat yes twice when he speaks English.
Anyway, I have to make minor changes to my report according to the discussion and send it to our client next Monday. It has been a long and tedious work to write the report this time. I enjoyed it though.
