No, the rest of the day is me rewarding myself for doing so well in The Big Meeting.
Also I actually didn’t have to say anything in the big meeting, but I had a full demo and slideshow prepared.
I had a “Big meeting” last week. It went more like
1/2 day of adjusting the deck, a dry run, tweaks, feedback, wow I’m doing great this meeting is going to go great I’m so prepared!
10 minutes after meeting starts… Important individual: “Let me stop you right there”, boss takes over meeting, meeting details.
1/2 day of anxiety about how I did my best and it still wasn’t enough, and also how “Important individual” is an asshole and really just didn’t give a shit about the meeting in the first place. And to be clear… THEY REQUESTED THE MEETING WTF!!!
You just can’t win sometimes.
Big meeting consists of “Working on ticket X, no blockers”
Is your stand-up the rare exception that lasts 10-15 minutes and actually accomplishes something?
Nope. Last thirty minutes plus parking lots and accomplishes dick all.
I can’t say I miss the nonsense.
Those are rookie numbers etc. Consider: the night before
