John was late, again. He strolled in at 3:45 PM, apologizing profusely for being "tied up" in a "crisis" at home. We were, of course, "totally understanding".
We spent the first 20 minutes discussing the importance of being on time. It was a real "crucial" topic, and everyone had a lot to say about it.
After that, we moved on to the agenda, which included a "thrilling" presentation by Jane on "The Benefits of Procrastination" and a "detailed" report by Bob on "The Art of Making Excuses." Both presentations were "riveting," if a bit too long.
We also had a "lively" debate about whether or not to have donuts at the meeting, with some people arguing that they were "essential" for "focus" and others claiming they were "distractions." In the end, we compromised on "just one donut" per person.
And that's when things got really "interesting." John stood up and started talking about "synergy" and "disruption" and " paradigm shifts." It was a real "brain-twister," folks, and we were all left wondering what he was even talking about.
1. Be on time.
2. Procrastination is a skill.
3. Donuts are optional, but only if you're "focusing."
We decided to schedule another meeting for next week to continue the discussion on "The Importance of Being On Time." Because, clearly, we're not doing that well enough yet.
We also decided to have two donuts next time, but only if John promises to arrive on time.
And, just for fun, we made "synergy" the official company buzzword. Just don't ask John what it means.
Next meeting is scheduled for 10:00 AM next Tuesday. Be there, or be square.
