Step 7: The Final, Desperate Bid for Freedom

It's time to bring out the big guns. Send a strongly-worded email to the meeting organizer, expressing your utter disdain for the meeting itself. Be sure to include phrases such as:

1. I have a prior commitment to my couch, where I will be spending the next 4 hours
2. I was not aware that being a human being required such an extensive knowledge of PowerPoint
3. I have a sudden case of "Meeting-Induced Trauma" and need to take the day to recover

Be sure to cc: anyone who will be able to vouch for your crippling sense of existential dread when faced with the meeting invitation.

And if all else fails, it's time to bring out the nuclear option: The Meeting-Stealing, Sanity-Saving, Nuclear Option

Or, if you're feeling extra adventurous, you could try The Meeting-Stealing, Sanity-Saving, Nuclear Option: Advanced for a more extreme approach.
