To get out of my meeting that starts in 2 minutes... then I'll miraculously recover in an hour.
I'm going to fake my death
- Thread starter retro
- Start date
I hear there's a 1 hour bug going around. Diarrhea, vomiting... nasty business. I'd make for a bathroom and try my best to make disgusting, foul noises (and smells). Much easier than death-faking. :nod:
I hope you enjoy your meeting though! Or at least get some free nibbles out of it.

We never have food in our meetings... fortunately it only lasted half an hour, as opposed to the normal 60-90 minutes it seems like it takes every week.
Retro I too have considered taking violently ill before certain conference calls, staff meetings and the like. My boss reads every god d*mn statistic for each monthly report ad nauseum, and it's posted for everyone to see! If you are curious about stats, go read the bloody things yourself. We've had people fall asleep during staff meetings!
That's how it is here... only instead of inane statistics, he drones on and on about things that nobody cares about. We're all pretty sure he has a ridiculous case of ADD, and he has a very high sense of self worth, as evidenced by the fact that he thinks we give a shit about his own personal business that he talks to us about. Then when he tries to move on from a subject it'll literally go something like this:
"mhmm, okay, yeah, so mhmm, that sounds good, okay, yeah, mhmm, alright so, mkay, that's alright, yeah"
