Thursday Thirteen: 13 Ways To Survive A Long, Boring Meeting
by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on March.11.2010
- Figure out how you’d spend all those millions if you won the lottery.
- Practice falling asleep with your eyes open.
- Try taking notes using pictures and symbols instead of words.
- Study everyone in the meeting individually, and try to image what they would look and sound like while having an orgasm.
- Ask a question you already know the answer to, just to sound engaged.
- Come up with a way to trick your spouse when you get home.
- Come up with a way to seduce your spouse to make up for tricking them.
- Tap your foot to the rhythm of the song that you can’t get out of your head.
- Keep your head propped up by your hand or fist so your head doesn’t roll when you nod off.
- Make your bathroom trips as long and slow as possible.
- Send silly text messages to another person in the room.
- 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.
- Actually listen and pay attention. No really, that is an option.

# 4 made me snort out loud.
I’v almost mastered # 2 and #4 is a scream. I don’t care what you say #13 is not an option! Great read!
You’re close to mastering #2? O teach me dear master!
I don’t mind meetings. It’s when they start repeating themselves I become disengaged.
In general, I don’t mind them either. It’s when they go beyond 2 hours (especially near 8 hours like the ones I’ve been in every day this week) that I struggle with. *yawns and rubs eyes*
#4 made me kinda throw up in my mouth a little.
Have you been to any of my meetings?
Happy Thursday!
But if your co-workers are um, unsexy, I would think that would make the exercise even more entertaining! Imagine some of the private laughs you’d have!
Hmm, maybe I just have a twisted sense of humor …
When I read #4, I thought it said, “Come up with a way to lick your spouse when you get home.” LOL Great list! Happy TT.
*laughs* I bet your version of it would be just as effective!
Actually, I’ve tried #2. LOL! (It’s impossible to do). Happy Thursday!
I don’t think I want to imagine my coworkers having an orgasm. That’s just NOT going to happen. LOL.
Great suggestions.
Hey, don’t knock it until you try it! You just might find yourself highly amused!
*clears throat* not that I would know personally …
LOL! Those are great! I especially love number four!
*hugs*

My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
Ha! This is a great list!
Thanks!
Great, great stuff, here. What’s scary is I’ve actually done a variation of #4! Okay, only with a couple of coworkers in particular, but… Heh.
Ciao!
Happy TT!
What kind of variation, hunh? Do tell.
I don’t have to attend any boring meetings but I do have to occasionally attend parties for my husband’s work. I have perfected #2, while standing up. Great list. Happy Thursday!
1) You don’t have to attend any boring meetings, and 2) You can sleep with your eyes open AND while standing up.
I’m envious.
Hahaha! This is funny to me because I don’t do meetings!
So. *crosses arms*
I’ve done about 7 of those! *lol* But unfortunately I work with librarians, and some of them are the picture of the sterotype…no orgasms for them!
Hell, they’d probably have to brush the dust and cobwebs off first…
*giggles*
Which is why it would probably send you to tears to try to picture them that way.
Next time you’re bored, try it.
I bet #4 would have everyone looking at your weird.
Not unless they can read your thoughts.
LOL, this list! 11 and 12 are ALL me!
Yeah I tried number 4. All I did was get reallllly horny. My female coworkers were hot. .uhm..not as hot as my wife though
