2. Bureaucratic Red Tape and Paperwork (10:15am - 11:00am)

Get lost in a sea of paperwork, forms, and pointless meetings. Who needs a phone number when you can just fill out a 10-page form in triplicate?

Discuss the intricacies of Form 345-B

3. Phone Number Memorization Breakout Sessions (11:00am - 12:00pm)

Work in groups to commit phone numbers to memory using team-based, collaborative methods. Because nothing says "productivity" like a 30-person group trying to remember a single phone number.

Participate in the 5-number phone number game

Lunch Break: Because Hunger is a Form of Bureaucratic Red Tape

Take a break to grab some lunch and contemplate the meaninglessness of it all. Don't forget to fill out Form 123-B for your meal reimbursement.
