Appendix A-1: The Protocol of Protracted Protractedness

Part 1: The Art of Boredom

As the meeting has been dragging on for what feels like an eternity, the art of boredom has become a crucial aspect of the Extra-Long Meeting Protocol.

It's essential to master the techniques of staring blankly into space, tapping your pen on the table, and pretending to take notes on your phone.

But don't just take our word for it - here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Find a spot on the wall to stare at.
2. Tap your pen on the table with a rhythm that's both soothing and annoyingly distracting.
3. Open up a browser on your phone and browse through cat pictures. It's for "research".
4. Pretend to type notes on your phone with a furiously intense focus.

By following these simple steps, you too can become a master of the art of boredom and make it through even the most protracted meetings.
