Person A: Hello, and welcome everyone. We need to get talking about some items that have come to my attention recently, so we need to go ahead and just jump right in. This meeting is going to start by reviewing what we discussed at the last meeting, then we’re going to have a little back and forth on that.
Then I had hoped we would discuss the back and forth we had at the last meeting, it seems we had some unresolved issues from the meeting before that, that perhaps we can revisit, and wrap up.
I think after that we can begin with all the things on our plate for this week…
Person B: Food? Was I supposed to order food for this meeting?
Person A: Well, we were supposed to get around to that in the last meeting, but we didn’t. I think we’ll be okay, even though we are so pressed for time that I think we’ll have to meet through the normal lunch hour.
(Persons C- K all sigh quietly)
Person A: Whew! So much to cover! So… It looks like what I’ve got here is… After we discuss what is on our plates for this week, we need to have a dialogue about how we can move forward with said items.
As soon as we finish that, we can tie up all the loose ends, and really put everything where it needs to go neatly.
Person B: Was I suppose to tidy up in here?
Person A: No, we hardly had any time because we just decided to call everyone here at the last second…
Person B: What are the loose ends? Do you mean like that discussion we had last week about the week before’s discussion?
Person A: Well, not really (laughs. No else in the room does)! What I meant is the discussion we had the week before that! There were a lot of remarks that I jotted down for us to go over later that week.
I figured that after we tie up those loose ends, we can have a rap session about what we have coming down the pipeline, and how we can improve things for the future.
Person B: Oh! Wait! (writing) Did you say “rap session”? I am just trying to get accurate notes for the next meeting.
Person A: Oh, that reminds me! We need to talk about the next meeting because I have a lot to discuss in that one about some upcoming projects. Also, in that one we need to discuss better time management, because we are seeing a real decline in productivity.
Person B: Perhaps we can focus someone’s skill sets on…
Person A: Wait wait wait! That’s for next week. For this week we have SO much to cover, that I really need to get down to our discussion. So, as I said what we’ve got going on here is that WHEN we talk about the future at the end of this meeting, I need all your input. (PHONE BUZZES) You know… I really have to get this… We’ll start next week right here where we left off…
(Persons C- K all wonder what they are doing with their lives)
