Work meetings chat

Thank you my office god, my mind is at ease.

I used to have a job with a lot of these meetings. Sometimes they were a welcome escapade from your desk, however, often boring and irrelevant.

How do people deal with sudden and often quite hard-to-disguise bouts of tiredness coming over you in meetings? How do you manage to keep your eyes open, stifle yawns and not look like you’re drifting off?

please, just “god” will be fine

I say I’m going to the toilet and spend the next five minutes having a quick game of Football Manager on my phone in the cubicle.

meetings can be shite/detrimental if not controlled.

my meetings are fucking great cos they have a clear purpose, clear steps/action plan/points for next meeting and an end time. I keep short and sweet.

I just spent twenty minutes demoing new functionality to users who have never used our system before.

Now my colleague is saying exactly the same stuff in a different order and broken English.

What’s the scotch egg situation like, though?

no food in a meeting, i’ll allow drinks, preferably soft

I quit.
