Meeting Maestros Gifts

'Ooops! My mistake. That was the yearly budget estimate, no the monthly estimate.'

Presentation: Thinking each other are idiots.

"Sure, we can spend all day nitpicking specifics but aren't sweeping generalities so much more satisfying?"

"And what my plan may lack in coherence, it makes up for in the exhilerating momentum created by all of these super-cool arrows!"

"Starting here, each person whisper to your neighbor the purpose of this meeting and we'll see what we end up with."

'Your report is eight pages too long.'

Two plans - one long-term and one short-term.

'Good - we're finally all on the same rampage.'

"All those in favour say 'aye'."

'He slept in. We'll need to reschedule. How is early spring for you?'

'I can show you in our panic room while you're waiting to see the boss.'

'Miss Bondwell will now illustrate us how to make boring board meetings a thing of the past.'

"Yeah, actually, we did need you to come in today."

"Costs have risen by 200% and we are behind schedule. We are living up to our acronym gentlemen and I am not happy about it!!"

"You're good at asking all the right questions. Now let's hear some right answers."

"Next?? How should I know what comes next?"

"Here, we do not procrastinate, we 'table' things."

'Of course.There are some of us who do abuse 'casual fridays' '

'Whatever you do, never say anything about being warm.'

'let's see if we can find any loopholes in this 'honesty-is-the-best-policy' nonsense.'

'Thanks for rushing back in here on such short notice, Ms. Fern!'

"Before the meeting...let's all sing like the birdies song."

Lunch Break

The boss and her baby

"I'd say we were pretty much on target."

"Remember the golden rule: more buzzwords, less real words."

"I'm going to bombard you with graphs until you agree with me."

'And were there a point to your proposal, Henderson - What would it be?'

"Forget five-year plans. Let's just figure out how to make it to lunch."
