There’s No Business Like Business Meetings

Amtech business meeting

“Business, business, business. Profits. Third quarter. Business. Power Point. Lay offs imminent. Business. Any questions?”

Frank Statement barged into the business meeting, threw down blank sheets of college ruled paper, which scattered all over the glass table, and said, “I quit!”

CEO Rich Grieder didn’t even bother to look up to say, “This is the third time you’ve quit this week and it’s only Tuesday. Frank, if you’ve got something on your mind we should talk.”

hospital waiting room

Waiting in a hospital is a lot like being in jail, no one will tell you how long you’re going to be there unless you’re wealthy.
