I have been to this meeting… repeatedly.
Tippers are more attractive to the opposite sex and their chainsaws always start on the first pull. The links are below. Thanks.

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
I remember those meetings. It’s what made me the psycho I am today.
If you can sit through a meeting like that without what my doctors call “homocidal ideation” you’re a better man than me.
Oh dude! The idea comes in the first five minutes… it’s not acting on it that’s the hard part.
Now everyone knows why I retired; I was having trouble restraining myself. I’m better now and off the meds but I still have twitchy hands.
Good God.
You just summed up my entire work week.
I generally made a habit of missing such meetings; or, I would use meetings to take a much-needed nap. Most people are unaware how many meetings a person can blow off with no repercussions whatever. In the rare occasion something important happens in a meeting concerning you, it always gets back to you anyway.
