Meeting Mayhem Appreciator Prints

The Coordination Committee meets. . .

'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."

'It has come to my attention that we need to hedge against our five-year plan.'

"It's a memo from the legal department reminding us to (heh-heh), 'keep our noses clean'."

'I'm sorry, but everyone is in a meeting.'

Future garbage truck driver.

'Before we start, shall we go round the table, and each share our name and a horrible dark secret from our past.'

"That's six 'noes' and one 'aye', the ayes have it"

"At least we are consistently inconsistent."

'This prediction has a margin of error of plus or minus fifteen...fifteen class-action suits brought against the company.'

'Anyone who opposes the plan I'm about to propose please signify by saying 'I resign.''

'Congratulations, Yomp - we're giving you a bigger carrot!'

'Ms. Snack, prepare the conference room for an executive sting.'

"And, while there's no reason yet to panic, I think it only prudent that we make preparations to panic."

'We need to change the introduction to our annual report. What's another word for bankrupt?'

Responsibility and duties

"Unlike other companies, we are going to take the high road through this rough time, even if, at some point, we're obliged to raid the employee pension fund! Is everybody clear on that?"

Conference Pears

"Next meeting back to paper. Everyone missed doodle."

"That's Arnie, our resident meeting moth. He doesn't have an office... Just flits all day from one meeting to another. And be careful: he's got a thing for wool!"

Now I'll open up the floor to questions and batsh*t crazy rants.

'I meet therefore I MANAGE.'

'Thanks for flying in for the meeting.'

"Not the most impressive strategic plan I've ever seen."

'Who's pumped about this meeting?!'

The Sky Is The Limit

'I didn't want to get the napkin messy.'

"I just wonder if there aren't some team members who could be a bit more focused in meetings."

'I'm just curious, which one of you was dropped off by their boyfriend on a really fast motorcycle?'

Agreeable Noises

"We could hire another accountant and secretary, but wouldn't it be fun to have a barista?"

'This committee will have two functions - to execute my plans and to accept responsibility if they fail.'

"Any questions?"

'My mother sent down some chicken soup to see if that will help.'
