Life in a meeting room

You start your day and rush with your backpack to office to join a meeting which has anyways started 10 mins earlier (meeting is on time but ofcourse you are not!) and then mumble to the colleague sitting next to you to understand the context of last 10 minutes. The colleague feeling disturbed but sympathizing with you with either softly tell u coming close to your ear ensuring he is not watched or scribble on a notepad placed infront of him.

By the time you get the context you are generally asked for your inputs and you dont know what to say so you begin with clearing your throat or start with a big "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm" to initiate thoughts which anyways arent important and will breif what others actually know!

Once done, you thank god that nobody noticed your stupidity and you want meeting to be concluded so that you can catch up for a tea, but to your disappointment the moderator will apologise for stretching the meeting for next half an hr ruining your tea/coffee plans. Only mercy moderator will have is to provide you a cup of coffee by ordering the same in the meeting room. something better than nothing right?

Post your first meeting you realise that there are lot of mails that require your action and you run fast to your desk in order to reply back and be called "prompt" in replies. Someone made an SLA of replying in 24 hrs time so they have to stick to it now....

you see some reminder making a noise and coming with a orange color and sitting on your task bar but so engrossed in work that you just think that orange is a close color of task bar blue. By the time you pay attention to the orange you realise -  " shucks i was supposed to be on time for another meeting".

The fight of landing on a different floor with a different meeting room ambience and name you make yourself comfortable and talk to yourself "hope noone realised how i forgot reading about the agenda of this meeting" Meeting goes on and on and the time is reminded to you not by watch by the growling sound of your stomach! Lunch time and none of them are bothered; either ppl diet to be on size zero or they had something before getting in the room,  you can just speculate these.

As always meeting runs late leading to a stomach noise which can  heard on the room top by the food serving vendor...you get rid of the meeting, run and catch on the most exciting menu of the vendor which more or less looks like same on 22 days of a month. (+- 5% variation in color of rice).


and life continues in meeting rooms post lunch as well....
