Thursday Thirteen: 13 Ways To Survive A Long, Boring Meeting

by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on March.11.2010

  1. Figure out how you’d spend all those millions if you won the lottery.
  2. Practice falling asleep with your eyes open.
  3. Try taking notes using pictures and symbols instead of words.
  4. Study everyone in the meeting individually, and try to image what they would look and sound like while having an orgasm.
  5. Ask a question you already know the answer to, just to sound engaged.
  6. Come up with a way to trick your spouse when you get home.
  7. Come up with a way to seduce your spouse to make up for tricking them.
  8. Tap your foot to the rhythm of the song that you can’t get out of your head.
  9. Keep your head propped up by your hand or fist so your head doesn’t roll when you nod off.
  10. Make your bathroom trips as long and slow as possible.
  11. Send silly text messages to another person in the room.
  12. Keep checking to make sure you’re not copying the gesture of the person sitting next to you. If you are, sit in the chair a different way and time how long it takes before someone copies you.
  13. Actually listen and pay attention. No really, that is an option.
