Meetings: the bane of productivity and the soul of boredom.
Imagine a world where the only thing that matters is someone else's agenda, and your presence is merely an afterthought.
Why is work so boring? It's because meetings are the key.
Meetings are like a bad novel that never ends. You start off excited, thinking it's just going to be a quick 30 minutes of small talk, but before you know it, you're stuck in chapter 12,000.
And don't even get me started on the "action items." Those are just like the cliffhangers that keep you hanging, wondering when (or if) anything will actually get done.
Meetings are like a creativity-killing machine. The more you attend, the less you create. It's like trying to write a novel while stuck in a never-ending elevator ride.
Meetings: they're the reason you get a paycheck. The reason you have a job. The reason you exist, really.
But don't worry, there's always next week's meeting to look forward to...
