Agenda Architect Pillows

"Today's top priority is prioritizing our priorities."

'Right we have some 'any other business' to deal with. Global warming, poverty, and the Pension Crisis.'

Businessman wonders why he called a meeting.

"Your wonderful daughter and I would like to become engaged in F.Y. '97, married in F.Y. '98, and if the numbers look good, start a family in F.Y. '99."

'What bothers me about these meetings is even though it's work, I have the nagging feeling I ought to leave and get back to work.'

'Why is it that nothing ever gets done at these meetings?'

"Why can't the rest of you be more like Rollins, here? He does his homework!"

Team Leader

'Ok, here's the meeting agenda ... it's gonna be a long one.'

'I went into that meeting with a hidden agenda and then forgot where I put it.'

"Still suffering from writer's block?"

I want a calendar where every day says here and now

"We had a brainstorm - I hope it's a brainchild."

"Do I have many meetings today?"

'I'm not motivated by profit, Henderson - I'm motivated by excessive profit.'

'Duly noted. Now, shall we move on or does anyone else feel the need to have a conniption?'

"I think I found a location for our vacation."

The Doorway to Ideas

Human Brain

"I like to stay on top of things."

'Right, I've convened these meetings to explore some concerns about the number of meetings we've been having.'

What brings you to therapy, Rudy? Dr. Noodle. I've been feeling like my whole life is on pause. And I can't find the remote to unpause it. Meanwhile, everyone else's stories are proceeding apace. They're all into the second act already. They've all had plot twists, and hero's journeys, and epic love scenes, and thrilling reversals of fortune ... Meanwhile, I'm still paused on the opening credits because no remote. Why don't you get up off the couch and unpause it manually? You can do that?

"Yay, we have an agenda for today's meeting!"

"Okay, if that's all the finger pointing we have today, we can move on!"

'Now that we all agree on the agenda, a show of hands on how many want to keep it hidden.'

"So what's on the agenda today? Let's see--nap, then count my spots, then nap again, then chase my tale, nap yet again, then beg for good, nap, scratch at the door, finally come in and find a spot to go to sleep. Just not enough time in the day."

"My mental ink pen ran dry.

"I, for one, do not enjoy these BYO agenda meetings."

"It's the first responders wondering when you'll be needing their services this weekend..."

"The subject of this never ending meeting was how to keep meetings short..."

If I move Jen's ortho to Friday, it conflicts with Sam's clarinet, but I can't move that to Monday because Tina has soccer! Ugh, how do I line this thing up? Rubik's Calendar.

"If there's no further old business, we'll move along to new business."

'Motion seconded!' (golfers)
