    You could staple this yucky yellow pillow to the conference table. Get it nice and secure.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    nah, just staple it to the underside of his desk, he won't find it for days... :lol:
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Learn to suppress your rage at pointless meetings by drinking by reminding yourself how much you enjoy life not behind bars.
    "Where's KW?"
    "Let's check Idaho."

    Just find your happy place, and nod when someone makes eye contact.

    I wish it was that simple, but they're always asking me stupid questions! Maybe I should just start responding with "I'll look into that" ... :think:

    That's a great one...
    Or, I'll put that down as a take away.

    When attending meetings, my goal is to make sure I don't get any assignments

    We try to turning anything annoying into a game. We play bingo based on annoying things that always seem to happen without fail, turn meetings into drinking games (albeit with water) and try to laugh as much as possible throughout the day. There's enough very serious stuff to deal with in what we do, so we try to not make any of the non-serious bullshit any more important than it has to be.
