Meetings: The Last Donut Procedure

Meetings are the bane of productivity. But what happens when they're too long? Do you just sit there, silently, as the minutes tick by, wondering where the donuts have gone?

Procedure:

1. Step 1: Stare intensely at the clock, willing the seconds to move faster.
2. Step 2: Pretend the meeting is a video game, where the goal is to survive.
3. Step 3: Make small talk about the weather, just to see how long you can keep it going.
4. Step 4: Declare "I'm going to the bathroom" and don't return, hoping the meeting will magically end.
5. Step 5: Concede, and declare "I think we've reached a consensus" when you haven't, just to move things along.

And if all else fails, just pretend the meeting is a hostage situation, and you're trying to negotiate with the timekeeper.
