Let’s Meet

The key to making a meeting long is to say it’s going to be a short one. We should all know this by now. It’s just like saying, oh, traffic is going to be light today because of the holiday. Never say that! If you do, you’re sure to run into masses of people on the road or a few that completely do not understand how to drive above 30 miles per hour. So, when the meeting coordinator says, “Oh, this won’t take our full hour,” you would be a fool to think about the freedom to grab a bathroom, coffee or cigarette break in 30 minutes. Somehow, someone will come up with topics or nonsense to fill up those extra 30 minutes.
