how to end a meeting badly

[elionwyr]

Just start giggling.

<- making mucho points with the new bossman

*sigh*

We had another meeting that became a free-for-all and then became a circular discussion. Someone (not Bossman) started reading a memo out loud to us, and I commented, "We can take that back to our desks and read it, can't we?"
Bertha (my supervisor) looked over at me, surprised, then hid a smile.
And the conversations around me continued.
And..
I couldn't stop myself.
I started giggling.
The room got quiet. Bossman asked, "What's going *on* over there?"
"*giggle* I'm really sorry. Maybe it's too hot in here. But I really need to go now, please...!"

(I did go back and apologize to Bossman later, and I promised to be better-behaved in the future. He just smiled and said, "No! Don't change!" Umm...I will *not* take him seriously, thankyouverymuch.)

And I get to co-conduct a training with these maniacs tomorrow.
Valium would help.

Yeesh...At some point they have to stop having these daily meetings so someone can get something useful done. Like exchanging e-mails with me for instance :-)
