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.
Those are rookie numbers etc. Consider: the night before
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.
