Most Embarrassing Telework Moments

We've all had them - those moments when, suddenly, working in the office looks like it might not be such a bad idea after all.

Kids crying or dogs barking while you're delivering a presentation by conference call from home usually tops the list of anecdotes, but there are countless others. Webcam inadvertently left on so people at the other end see or hear things they shouldn't? Forgot that someone from the office was stopping by to pick up / drop off a package, and therefore neglected to clean up the mess at home / take a shower / put on pants?

In spite of the most mortifying experiences, telework should still be at the core of 21st century workstyles for most white-collar workers. But let's not forget the funny stuff! What's your most embarrassing telework story? We'll collect the best and publish them in a few weeks.
