Recently I have been attending our weekly meetings with Jay, Andi, Jim and Kay. These meetings are pretty much a guaranteed cure to insomnia. My idea of a meeting would be, "here are certain topics - lets discuss them". Jays idea seems to be "My voice sounds great I am sure everyone wants to spend their entire Friday afternoon listening to it.
Andi and I have taken to being a bit silly in the meeting. Jay has a sense of humour lack so we are trying to be subtle. It includes bringing a large scented candle to the meeting, pass the cough but these only last for so long.
Until we hit jackpot - the bingo bollocks.
Basically we hand out bingo cards to all of the unfortunate attendees with some of his more irritating phrases on. We all pay a £ and the person with a line wins. If no one wins the money gets rolled over.
My bingo card today contains:
Modus Operandi
360 degree thinging
Pushing the Envelope
Moving Forward
Heads Up
Singing from the Same Hymn Sheet
Wish me luck - the cash could be mine!

Good to meet you Kate! This meeting sounds pretty similar to a lot of meetings Ive been to in all kinds of 'professions'!!! How much did you win then?!
ReplyDeleteI've done something similar (albeit without a prize) at big work meetings. We called it 'bullshit bingo' and it certainly helped pass the time!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the comments - Ellie I love the idea of renaming it the bullshit bingo - and Flowerpot I won £10 which I then spent buying the particpants drinks!

Just found your blog...hilarious! I love this post because it reminds me of our Monday morning meetings. Our director LOVES to hear herself talk...the meetings are completely pointless, always long, and very painful. I would love to do the BINGO game with our meetings!
