University Meetings Gifts

"I volunteer to chair the 'Loyalty Review Board'."

'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."

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

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

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

'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."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"I drink just enough coffee to make me think I can do my job."

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

"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."

'Asynchronous, collaborative, interactive - we're obviously on a roll.'

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

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

'The sunglasses idea would have worked if you hadn't started snoring.'

"Mr. Johnson, Bob is kicking me under the table!"

"A dozen eggs and a pint of semi-skimmed...Sorry, looks like I left my presentation in my other coat."

"Nervous about this morning's presentation?"

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

It would be a painful forty five minutes before Arthur finally admitted he left his presentation at home.

"My report to the board was perfect. They did not understand a word of it and now think I'm smarter than them."
