Guh. That meeting sucked.
The meeting itself wasn't challenging - my task was simply to sit, nod and make noises of agreement from time to time, whilst looking suitably thoughtful. Surviving without making a hell of a faux pas, though?
Those of you've seen the film A Clockwork Orange; remember Alex's social worker, Mr Deltoid?
"Ah, Alex boy, awake at last, mmyes? I met your mother on the way to work, mmyes? She gave me the key. She said something about a pain somewhere... hence not at school, mmyes?"
We had a consultant from outside the company present at the meeting, and... ugh. He spoke Just. Like. That. Almost exactly the same voice and everything.
"Well, what I think we need to do, is start by looking at this, mmyes? If you look at these results, you will see an interesting feature, mmyes? Look at this bit. I started by adding iron rings in here, mmyes?"
I honestly can't remember the last time I struggled that much to keep a straight face!
