Technique 3.2: Pretend to be Interested

The art of pretending to be interested in a meeting is a delicate dance. You must appear engrossed, yet not too engrossed. Like the perfect blend of "I'm fascinated" and "I'm bored out of my mind."

Here's how it's done:

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Nod your head. Not just once, but several times. Like a metronome of approval.
• Make eye contact. Stare intensely, yet avoid direct eye contact, lest you come on too strong.
• Avoid checking your phone. This one's a no-brainer.
• Ask questions. Not too many, not too few. Just the right amount.
• Nod some more. You're getting the hang of this.

Remember, the key is to appear interested, not to actually be interested. It's like a game of "Meetings: The Musical."
