Prompt Lucky #13 is to write about a weird day at my workplace.
Somebody somewhere must enjoy meetings. There must be someone who wakes up in the morning and jumps out of bed, thinking how great it is that he will be able to follow an agenda or review minutes. I've met a certified professional parliamentarian, so I know these people exist.
I'm not one of those people.
The boss said, "Can we please put a pin in the 800-pound gorilla so that we can deal with the elephant in the room?"
As it turns out, large gorillas do not like being stuck with pins, and enraged gorillas don't make elephants more docile.
This was not a boring meeting.
