Parody of a meeting I just attended

Item 3 has an error. I typed an “o” rather than a “a” so it should say “early” instead of “eorly”.

What does “eorly” mean? Should this actually say “eorly”?

No. It should be “early”.

Take an action item to double check that this should not be “eorly” and we can close this at the next meeting.

This is early? Why? Let’s go back and figure out why this is early?

Before we do that, I believe this error should go through a Kaizan effort.

Maybe this is a little too formal but this definitely should go through a review.

When?

How about Thursday?

Cannot because I will be out of town.

How about a week from Thursday?

Cannot because of the TRR.

Let’s take this off line.

How about we schedule a meeting to discuss this?

When?

Today?

Cannot because I have a previously scheduled meeting. Let’s do this at 7:00 PM. This will be late enough so everyone will have eaten dinner. I will have a telecon number so people can call from home.

Now let’s talk about why this is early.

This is an old item. I don’t think we need to discuss this.

I understand but I want to know for my personal knowledge.

Well, the person to discuss this is not in today.

Let’s plan a meeting so he can brief me.

When?...

This is made up but points out the mindless babbling I just witnessed. BTW: The meeting lasted 2 1/2 hours. I wanted to die.
