Exceptions to the Rule of Meetings

Because sometimes, just sometimes, we need to make an exception.

Meetings are the bane of our productivity, but sometimes you just can't avoid them.

The Exception to the Rule

It's not just anyone who gets to make exceptions, you know.

prophets, kings, and meeting organizers have to sign off on it first.

So, don't even think about it, just go ahead and ask, but be prepared for the paperwork.

When to Make an Exception

When the apocalypse happens, and you're the last one left.

Or when the copier in the conference room breaks, and you need to use the one in the supply closet.

Or maybe, just maybe, when your cat is having a medical emergency.

Exceptions to Meetings Exceptions

We're not saying it never happens, but... actually, we're saying it never happens.

No, we're just kidding, it totally happens all the time.

We're the exception that proves the rule, the rule that's an exception, the meeting that's an exception to the meeting.
