Meetings are like voids, vast expanses of nothingness that suck the soul from your body and replace it with a faint sense of dread.
But fear not, dear meeting-goers, for there is hope! The Void Meeting Sutras are here to guide you through the abyss.
Today, we tackle the paralyzing pause. The pause that says "just one more minute" and turns into "three hours of silence."
**Rule 1: The Pause is not a Pause**
The pause is not a pause. It's a void, a chasm that yawns before you like a hungry abyss.
**Rule 2: The Pause is a Trap**
Don't be fooled by the false promise of "just one more minute." The pause is a cleverly designed trap, meant to ensnare you in a never-ending cycle of boredom and despair.
**Rule 3: The Pause is a Rite of Passage**
The pause is a rite of passage, a test of your mettle. Can you withstand the crushing silence, or will you succumb to the void?
