Meeting Marathons Prints

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

'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.'

"Looks like we found the issue."

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

"Bert, I'm confused. What happens after we circle the wagons, tighten our belts and walk a mile in our customer's shoes? Is that when the chickens come home to roost?"

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

"I was hoping this presentation would be more interesting upside down."

"These projections don't make sparkles shoot out my ass."

"So the plan is to fly everyone for free. But we'll charge $400.00 per bag."

'What sort of mission statement is that?'

'Finally! A meeting with one of the bigwigs.'

"The data looks good, sir, but the vibes are mucho heavioso."

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

"In recognition of last month's little upward blip, I suggest we allow ourselves a spontaneous victory fist bump."

'The efficiency expert's recommendation is we drink more coffee!'

'My feet are killing me.'

"If I might be serious for a moment..."

'I vote we hang the darn thing upside down and go home!'

Doug had trouble getting home at a decent hour.

Out and In.

"Portrait of a Lady"

"I'm razzled, but not dazzled."

"Let's start with an icebreaker..."

"The meeting will come to order."

'I've learned a lot about myself at these meetings...like, I can fall asleep with my eyes open!'

"I need to see your budget proposal."

'Ah, Galagher, we made good use of your proposal.'

'That last meeting was a complete turn-off.'

'Your shoe's untied.'

"The good news is that we do have a little wiggle room."

"I'll wait a moment for everyone's energy drink to kick in."

Group Think Time

"It's been moved that we adjourn for an afternoon nap. Is there a second?"

'Hey, look, I can stand up and shout, too!'

'We haven't improved quality, but we've made it easier to return.'
