The System 314: Laptops and Meetings

December 17th, 2009

If you notice the tags, this is pretty much a true story.

Clearly, the strategy is to futz with a laptop and look busy. I am very good with this strategy. Which is probably why I don't get enough actual work done. Heh.

  Thanks. It's sadly true.

That's the way meetings should go. They are generally a waste of time so at least you can actually be productive.

Way back in the Stone Age, the most you could do was doodle which might improve your stick figures to actually resemble people, but that's about it. Plus, it was necessary to strip when you returned home (get your minds out of the gutter, people) because everyone smoked. Gross!

Let's hear it for laptops, i-phones and blackberries. I didn't hear you–louder!

OK, well as long as you get the message. Oops, I was typing on my laptop while thinking about what to write.

Very much like class eh?

I'm quite a bit older so I was schooled in the "carry a piece of paper and look busy" method

Yeah, this is pretty much what I do in college. But that's because I already know what they're teaching – if I don't, I pay attention. It's when they start reviewing for the third time that I tune stuff out…
