Improved productivity to offset the productivity lost to bagel and coffee (hopefully) meetings.

There are supposed to be bagels at this meeting coming up. My boss asked me to check to make sure the bagels are already there. This is really the boss's secretary's job, but she's coming in late today. So I went by the conference room, and there are no bagels. So I stopped by the receptionist's desk and asked about the bagels. She checked the schedule and saw that bagels had been ordered, and said that she expected them to be delivered just before the meeting is supposed to begin. But my boss said that a meeting yesterday, the bagels were delivered an hour into to meeting (that's a long meeting. Glad I wasn't in that one.) and it was almost lunch time by then, so nobody ate the bagels and they went to waste. She wants me to make sure the bagels are delivered promptly for this one. But I don't know who delivers the bagels.

The good news is that I just heard the secretary's voice, so I think I can ask her to check on the bagels. she'll know who delivers them.

God, I bored myself just typing this damn post. At least there will be coffee there.

The meeting is about a roll out of new improved Wi-Fi coverage throughout the building and some new network server that will improve productivity.

But there will be coffee and hopefully bagels.

glatt i hope you get a better batch of bready bagels before the bunch of bagel beggers believe the bagels should be brought back before breakfast.

DAMN YOU BAGELS. DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

infinite monkey · 02-22-2012, 09:01 AM

*biting nails*

Have the bagels arrived glatt?

glatt · 02-22-2012, 09:05 AM

Bagels are here!

Lamplighter · 02-22-2012, 09:11 AM

That was almost too much thread drift
The suspense was growing and becoming exciting
But then it got boring

Nice save, Glatt

Spexxvet · 02-22-2012, 09:28 AM

I'm done my coffee. No bagels.

Undertoad · 02-22-2012, 10:11 AM

My bagels are carb-free.

(This actually means I'm eating cream cheese with a spoon)

Yessireebob. Three cups for me. Is that a county thing?

Holy crap, that was a long and boring meeting. I just got out.

And nobody ate any bagels. So I ate one even though I didn't really want one. Just to make the boss feel like they weren't a waste.

Undertoad · 02-22-2012, 12:17 PM

Yup I'm pretty sure that dropping the "with" is local.

We didn't say that in Harrisburg. I only began encountering it in college (Reading) and then with my ex-wife (Brookhaven) and J (Chester).

The Jersey people would say "I'm going up the mall!" (instead of to the mall)

Stormieweather · 02-22-2012, 12:31 PM

That's ok UT. The WisCANson people say...drive BY the mall, instead of TO the mall.

I used to tease hell out of my ex..."gonna wave hi to it on your way past it?"

Sundae · 02-22-2012, 01:39 PM

Because I had an enforced day off of work today (48 quarantine due to vomiting virus) and it arrived in the post.

Basically, I was bored.

I am unfamiliar with this concept. Couldn't you have had a nice day out? Gone for a swim? Met new people?
