    Been to a dull meeting recently?

    You're not the only one:

    Linky



    Personally I feel dread when the slides start yet there is little you can do to escape, except fein death... Ummm, just looked at the feedback, looks like even that can't help!!!

    Nobody is immune from the danger of being coerced into attending a boring meeting, says Mr Atkinson, but those likely to be addressed by finance directors or the IT department are in particular danger, he says.
    Cheeky bugger!
    All the IT departments I have been in have poured scorn on meetings in general, and everyone I speak to views the PowerP0int presentation with disdain too.

    Training courses with slides I find the worst, when the lecturer just reads off them word for word.... why??
    They may as well just sell you a copy of the slides on day 1 and you spend the rest of the time down the pub!

    Lucky we take no crap with powe****** at the LSC. Still doesn't make meetings any better, specially when they get hi-jacked by one of the Drones who decides to go off topic for an hour and talk about something only one other person will have any idea about!!!



    Calm... Focus.... Breath...............



    Oh - Enlighten me - WTF is BS bingo????
