"Open up and say AAaaaAhhHhh!!!~!~"

We've all been in one. Boring meetings. Whether it is at work or some other place boring meetings seem like a part of everyone's life. I attended my company meeting this morning. More accurately, I was imprisoned in a meeting. It lasted almost three painful hours, during which I became convinced that the laws of physics had somehow broken down and caused an actual stopping of time. It was that bad.

Meetings aren't the most exciting topic, they're important because they fill up so much of our time. My almost three-hour fun fest had the typical meeting trappings: the laptops, the coffee, the nice conference table, the opening chitchat about nothing in particular. I was supposed to be there to present and share some thoughts about my marketing plan for a particular product that I'm handling but it turned out that most of the meeting was filled with other agenda items which is none-of-my-business. I almost wanted to spill coffee on the conference table and then make little paper boat and sail it down the table. What an evil thought.

The boss did all of the talking, providing updates, sharing opinions and blah blah blah blah. Nothing interesting EXCEPT when he said, "Happy Hour with customers once every 2-3 weeks". Company bills of course ;) Everyone was lighten up immediately, "we can go anywhere?", "inclusive of girls?", "can we go strip pub?", you know questions like that popped up instantly. Now, this is what I call meeting.
