Step 5: Ignore Protocol - Bureaucratic Red Tape Tips

By now, you're probably wondering how to navigate our committee's labyrinthine meetings.

Here's a tip: just pretend the agenda is a puzzle, and you have to figure it out as you go.

When someone says "we need to discuss item 3," just nod and smile. Don't bother asking questions.
When the chairperson says "we'll get to that later," just assume it's been moved to the bottom of the agenda, where it will forever remain.
And for goodness' sake, don't even think about asking to see the actual agenda. That's just a myth.

Remember, the key to success in our committee is to appear interested, but not actually be interested.

Now, go forth and conquer... or at least, just go forth.
