The Perils Of Early Morning Videoconferencing.
And speaking of technology probably invented by a man with manageable hair, has anyone else noticed how, this season, Oprah is all, “Skype, Skype, Skype”?

Ha! You look so cute! I too always forget to DISable video on Skype first thing in the morning. What a horror for the viewer on the other end. I imagine they’re choking on their cuppa joe!
Even my 80-year old father says my neck looks stringy on Skype. Gak! Time for a turtleneck… It’s almost winter anyway, right?
This same man invented high heels, panty hose, and unwanted facial hair. I’m convinced.
Morning, Bossy!!! Love the glasses!
Oh, I’m so glad it’s not just me looking like that in the morning!
Bossy’s hair is beautiful no matter how seriously she slept on it.
Good Morning Bossy! You look perfect!
Wow … almost like saying good morning to the ‘real’ you! What a treat!
Except having just washed my hair in the sink this a.m. and not having combed it yet (and will pay the price for all this ‘air drying’ later when I try to comb it)… we actually look on par! Almost scary…
hysterical. altho your hair is rock-star sexy…
Oh man, you look that good in the morning? I probably scare the kid’s bus driver when she sees me before washed hair in the morning!
I have my video automatically disabled on Skype. It’s not worth the terror being inflicted on the masses.
And I haven’t watched Oprah in years. Boycotting the crazy.
unmanageable whosit? meh. loving the glasses!
You don’t look bad. You look cute. Except that that doesn’t even look like you.
You look waaaaaay better than I do in the morning, fer sure!
(hums) She don’t know she’s beautiful…
I’m not a fan of morning hair myself – although I am usually pretty aloof about it. Besides – you look pretty good to me!
I need to bone up on my skype skillz – I have two very good girlfriends who will be spending a few years in Kuwait and Venezuela.
It is my experience that everyone’s appearance, including my own, is dramatically and exponentially improved with each additional cup of coffee I consume.
I have no idea what to recommend to improve predawn videoconferencing.
bossy is beautiful.
and i mean that in a non-lesbian kinda way.
not that there’s anything wrong with that. i have gay friends and a gay BIL. just sayin.
I heard a rumor that all those people are prisoners of Oprah and being held against their will in a basement studio and being forced to participate.
Skype kept Monkey sane when she went away for NINE months to do her research.
Didn’t Oprah hear that the Chinese are monitoring our Skype communications? Now they now that MVP scored 6 goals in his first club water polo tournament in college!
Wow! You stole my hair!!!
I’ve never used Skype. I’m intrigued.
Your hair looks remarkably familiar. Mine does the same thing…all day long!
Err…you look better here than I do when at my best. I don’t have a camera on my computer. I am thankful.
Bossy I’ve come back to ask what you were doing on a video conference at o:dark:thirty?
Whoever that woman is, she’s cute!
Bossy dahlin’ I have to have your glasses.
You are a brave woman.
Do you post things like this to get a whole caboodle of positive strokes? What a fan base you have. Now doggonit, why dontcha run for vice president? Darn right!
I like your blurry $120.00 meal picture better. Maybe it’s the lighting. Just sayin’…
I’ve used Skype since my daughter went to Italy. It is well worth it. But it still pops up on my screen every day now and is a little annoying.
iChat is so much better.
wonder if Bossy’s husband is just as cute in the morning……
Ophrah has someone to do her makeup and cook for her.
What I think is funny is that the item in my reader directly after this was a post on AmericaBlog titled “China filtering and blocking Skype messages.”
You are the most beautiful in all the land… any time of day or night, my friend.
The same man who invented Skype probably invented underwire bras. Just sayin’.
Seriously. You think that’s bad? You should see the monster my husband wakes up to every morning. Scary.
Logging onto Skype at stupid o’clock to see loved ones eleven times zones away? Why would anyone want to do something like that when we have airport queues, DVT, lost luggage, jet lag – oh.
Who’s the babe in the picture?
Bossy is my Dooce.
When I was a kid the Science Museum had a display of the history of the telephone and how there might be video phones in the future. I thought it was SO COOL. Now, not so much.
I think it’s hilarious when you hear about the “new” technology on TV shows and we’ve known about it for years. I remember when I first started blogging only a few years ago, no one knew what it was and you never heard news or TV shows mention it. It was completely underground.
With the hubs in Afghanistan, I’m all about the Skype as well. And I can guarantee I look worse than you do; of course, I mean, you don’t look bad at all.
oprah is a skypeaholic.
Skype must have paid a hefty price to be the new video conferencer. They’re probably doing alright now!
I JUST downloaded Skype an hour ago and thought, now I can talk to Oprah…. Really. She is all skypeskypeskype like it’s a product placement or something!
You look great. How do I take a picture in Skype? Hm….
Oprah is SO behind. I’ve been on top of Skype for eight months.
God you’re brave to do that.
That’s why god invented hats.
I’m waiting for “On today’s Oprah, brought to you by Skype!” But I guess someone has to pay for all her favorite things.
We had grand aspirations of video chatting with relatives around the country, but we mostly Skype my parents. They live 20 minutes away.
My biggest fear – I’ll have to brush my hair and put on makeup before I answer the phone!
Remember on the Jetsons cartoons when Jane Jetson would not be “ready for company” and would put on her mask to talk on the video phone? Why hasn’t someone developed a video mask? You could make millions!
If I had a TV, TV, TV, I’d know these things.
