I just rolled in after a long one today. We're working on a high profile project and we had a room full of people cranked up on stale pizza, donuts, Mountain Dew, and Luke-warm coffee. Things got a little testy around 8 p.m. when it was suggested we throw the entire presentation in the garbage and start all over. I scooted towards the corner out of the line of fire.
The boss, seeing that things were about to careen out of control wrapped up the meeting and gave instructions for us to reconvene early in the morning. I'm wearing my flack jacket tomorrow just in case the situation doesn't improve.
So tonight will be short as I can hear my pillow calling me.
I've found from past experience that meetings go much better when there are no chairs in the room.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. In this case, that would made fewer things to toss.
