Building on yesterday

The day after meetings tend to provide more entertainment.  People dissecting every move and word from other attendees.  This can go on for days.  It helped fuel today's quote.

“In some situations, if you say nothing, you are called dull; if you talk, you are thought impertinent or arrogant. It is hard to know what to do in this case. The question seems to be, whether your vanity or your prudence predominates.” - William Hazlitt

Vanity or prudence?

Tick Tock

Meetings are always an adventure.  People come into them with different ideas of what the agenda really is.  Throughout, people talk, give looks and act in all sorts of ways.  In the end, some people will think it was worth while, as others think it was a waste of time.

“When I give a lecture, I accept that people look at their watches, but what I do not tolerate is when they look at it and raise it to their ear to find out if it stopped.” - Marcel Achard

Had any watch looking meetings lately?
