my own personal hell

Actual meeting notes from meeting held 09/xx/2007 (with commentary by me):
This project will evaluate and compare product a and product b.
Product a does one thing, product b does something totally different.
2 computers will have product a, 2 will have product b and 1 computer will have both.
(So in layman’s terms – 2 people are going to play Guitar Hero, 2 people are going to play Donkey Kong, and 1 person is going to attempt to play both simultaneously. We are all going to watch and then say why one is better. Guitar Hero rules!)
(20 minutes into this meeting 3 of 7 people are head-bobbing.)
Actual quote from guy who looks like he belongs in “Talladega Nights” – “This is important shit man.” (I felt I should write that down for inspiration.)
Question posed by project lead: What are technical requirements and security requirements?
Question answered by me.
Vehement argument posed by non-technical business development guy who insists that no those are not the technical requirements. (Ok, well in that case, let me know when you get it working. Ha ha.)
(Can anyone come up with an original metaphor or say even one sentence without using a buzzword like “convergence” or “ahead of the power curve”? That last one is a buzzword that jumped the shark last year I thought??)
(30 minutes into it: 4 of 7, soon to be 5 of 7 head bobbing. Which would leave only one person listening because the other guy is running his pie-hole. Wait I’m not listening, I’m writing sarcastic thoughts in pink notebook. Also, am only woman in here. What have these guys been doing that they are so damn tired?)
Alright I’m bored even reliving this.
Leaving meeting I think of my friend Anne and as she would say, “Stupid has exploded all over me.” Can I have a towel?
Let me spell it out for you boys…
