That's hysterical and I can totally relate. I work from home now so I really don't have to go to too many meetings -- which is a huge plus. After an hour or so, I tend to sit there and just stare at everyone's faces, watching their lips move and wondering why they think anything they have to say is important at all. Then I start to analyze why I think their spouses married them, etc.
I do have to go to a meeting today where the two people I'm going to see asked me to come in at 2:30 instead of 3 -- because they have so much to talk about. I feel a 2 1/2 hour meeting coming on. Not sure if I'm going to be able to take it.
:)
I'll let you know at one point I start to think of Snakes on a Plane!
WHAT blonde from marketing???
Oh, man, I am so blogging this. I just got out of a three hour "branding" meeting, and by the end I was seriously contemplating death by papercuts as a preferable fate. Lawsy.
I followed this from squabs site-- but all i have to say is AMEN!!!
TLB, my love, you forget that Top Ten Tuesdays is about the collective "we," not the individual me. I was not thinking about the blonde from marketing, I was thinking about Snakes on a Plane.
I was thinking about Snakes on a Plane, too -- did you read my post?
Sorry, Mitch, no dangling penises allowed in comments. Not that I have anything against dangling penises.
