We don’t have to decide anything now. We can “circle back” to it next meeting.
I went to a strategic planning meeting at a listed company I was associated with about 18 months ago. All the senior managers were involved and it was an endless w#nkfest of circling back to sh1t, working in spaces, moving forward, speaking to and learnings.

I severed my involvement with that company 3 weeks later and I've never been happier.

It's seductive though. The more you're surrounded by it the more likely you are to inadvertently copy it.

Like those elementary spelling mistakes (there/their/they're, should of/would of/could of, here here, dominate/dominant etc etc). You know their there they're wrong but you become inured to they're there their wrongness and sometimes unconsciously slip into them yourself. And they're their there they are, right in front of you, much to your instant horror and self-loathing. :eek:

And this is true. That's what struck me. I kept thinking during the meeting, you group thinking bunch of morons. The challenge seemed to be to utter one of these phrases at the appropriate time to give the appearance that you're part of it...whatever it is. heck I'm glad I'm outta that sh1t!

I remember, like it was yesterday, being enrolled in an extracurricular course of no particular consequence in the early 90s. A particularly attractive girl was always seated next to me over the duration. This was somewhat distracting and possibly explains my steady progress as opposed to spectacular.

Anywho, there was one particular occasion when I was asked to literally spell something out in front of the class. I shudder when i think about it now. What person in their right mind pronounces the letter H as haychh (it's aychh ffs). Not me. Not before or since....but on that warm summer's evening in the 90's, because she did, I did. It's a shame I carry with me to this day.
