Meetings
A man sits in a meeting. His attention has waned because the topic of discussion does not apply to him or his department. At one point his mind starts to drift to thoughts that ought not to be had in a work environment. His name is called and he’s pulled out of his day dream, slamming him back into the cold, ugly reality that is the conference room.
Since he wasn’t paying attention, he doesn’t know what was asked of him, only that he heard his name. “I’m sorry, what was the question?” was his response. Everyone else chuckles because they know he was not paying attention. The person holding the meeting laughingly asks, “Not paying attention?”
“Oh, I was.” Says the man, “Just not to you.”
The rest of the room erupts in laughter, the host nervously laughs.
Two hours after the meeting, the man is told of another meeting he has to go to now. One that involves his manager and assistant manger.
All the man can think of is, “where did I leave off in that day dream?”
