My First Meeting

I love meeting's. They generally mean getting to sit with groups of people and discuss matters completely unrelated to life or death. Now that's always fun!

Yep, meetings can always be fun. Whether they are with a group of work colleagues, or meeting friends for a beer or meeting up with an HCHHSSTT over a toasty meal and an unlimited supply of wine - my personal favourite and it just doesn't happen enough!

The problem with meetings are when you sit with a group of people and not one of you has a common idea, or even the inclination to listen to each other let alone actually accept what the other has to say.

Wait... Did I say problem? I meant let the fun begin! Imagine a meeting where everybody is speaking at once, about matters completely unrelated to each other. You have one person elaborating the same retarded plan over and over in an attempt to disguise his stupidity. You have another person saying something completely unrelated to the topic and completely failing to disguise his stupidity. You also have a person who makes a little bit of sense but completely fails to make his point and hence refuses to accept other peoples points. Finally you have a lone voice of reason that is drowned out and in the end appears most nonsensical because well it makes that much sense.

So what do you do at a point like this? Well the smart thing is to adjourn knowing that nothing will be resolved. The smarter thing yet is to just be a Manly Man and make a decision (if you have the power!) and the smartest thing yet is to sit back and enjoy the show.
