THE MEETING PROTOCOL
Article 1: Mandatory Reading for All Meeting Attendees
- Arrive 15 minutes early. Any earlier, and you're just making the coffee machine nervous.
- Turn off your phone. Or, at the very least, put it on vibrate mode.
- Address the chairperson as "Your Honor" unless you're sure they won't notice.
- Do not, I repeat, DO NOT check your email during the meeting. It's called the Email From the Dead.
- A meeting without snacks is like a hug without a hugger. It's just not worth it.
- When leaving the meeting, make a dramatic exit.
