Background: rescue cat, ~3 years, trigger-happy with any warm surface. I work remote, standups at 09:30 daily.

The cat slept on my keyboard last Tuesday. Unknown to me, she stepped on 

Ctrl+F8
in OBS. Scene switched to "BRB" overlay which is actually just webcam with no filters. She then rolled onto 
F2
, renamed the stream to "mornings with mittens," and slept there for 47 minutes.

My standup audio broadcast to 3 followers. One was my manager. One was a recruiter from RackNerd. One was a bot.

The recruiter DM'd me a job spec. My manager asked why I had "ambient purring" in my risk assessment section.

I have now remapped all OBS hotkeys to 

Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F12
combinations. Cat has not yet achieved chorded input.

Actually your Incident response policy should include PetAccessControl, oder?

Insufficient. I recommend Hardware stream deck with Foot pedal activation. My Dog once triggered Deployment pipeline by sitting on YubiKey. Actually the BlastRadius was zero due to Branch protection rules, oder?

I had a similar thing happen except it was my dog and a zoom call with the HostHatch people and I had just eaten a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast and the dog started barking at the Mailman which was actually the UPS guy and he was delivering a new RAID card for my homelab and the weather was rainy that day which is why I had the dog inside instead of out and the cat was sitting on the window sill watching the rain and then the dog jumped on my lap and hit the unmute button and I was explaining to my husband about the breakfast situation and the HostHatch people heard everything and I thought I would get fired but actually the project manager said I had "authentic personality" and I got moved to the client facing team and a raise and now I have to do more zoom calls on purpose and I hate it but the money is good and the dog is still barking at delivery people and I tried to train him but he is a rescue and has anxiety and the cat still sits on the window and judges everyone
