Bob's Tips for Not Getting Sucked into Small Talk

Meetings, meetings, always meetings. Can't we all just have a meeting-free day for once?

Here are a few tips to help you avoid the abyss of pointless conversation:

Absorb the meeting minutes like a sponge, but not too much, you don't want to get bloated.
Bring a book. Not just any book, but one with no words.
Stare intently at your phone. It's like they say, "The eyes are the windows to the soul, but the phone is the window to the meeting."
Yell "Brevity!" at the top of your lungs. It's like a meeting alarm clock.

And if all else fails, just remember: Meetings are a never-ending cycle of suffering.

Stay strong, comrades!
