No, the rest of the day is me rewarding myself for doing so well in The Big Meeting.

Also I actually didn’t have to say anything in the big meeting, but I had a full demo and slideshow prepared.

I had a "Big meeting" last week. It went more like

1/2 day of adjusting the deck, a dry run, tweaks, feedback, wow I'm doing great this meeting is going to go great I'm so prepared!

10 minutes after meeting starts.... Important individual: "Let me stop you right there", boss takes over meeting, meeting details.

1/2 day of anxiety about how I did my best and it still wasn't enough, and also how "Important individual" is an asshole and really just didn't give a shit about the meeting in the first place. And to be clear... THEY REQUESTED THE MEETING WTF?!?!

You just can't win sometimes.

Those are rookie numbers etc. Consider: the night before

Big meeting consists of "Working on ticket X, no blockers"

Is your stand-up the rare exception that lasts 10-15 minutes and actually accomplishes something?

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 2 weeks ago

Nope. Last thirty minutes plus parking lots and accomplishes dick all.

I can't say I miss the nonsense.
