Yeah, I think that it drops off to “Kill me now” after about 1 hr. And I think it starts with “Boring” rather than “Life is Good”. And I think this is not very funny.
I am leaving this comment from hour 9 of a 13.5 hour budgeting meeting… on a Friday. With a 20 min ‘chew and talk’ lunch. After nearly the same every day since Monday. I am now to the level of being distracted by shiny things.
Not true where I work at. I work in a warehouse, so when a meeting comes up, its great, as its time spent relaxing instead of running around like a headless chicken.
Call center here, I get the same thing. What? 2 hours I don’t have to listen to clients yelling at me for things that are somebody else’s fault over the phone? Great!
For me a meeting is a mixed bag, it’s nice to escape from the stupids who have already been sold the impossible but it generally means I trying to explain to a different set of stupids just *why* what they want is impossible, usually before the sales person sells it to them anyway.
In my opinion the graph should get to “Kill me now!” stage a lot quicker, call it 5 minutes to give yourself time to judge who you’re dealing with and loose the will to live.
as far as I can tell, this is true only the first time. the second time you anticipate the long meeting and immediately go into “kill me now” mode even as you grab your coffee before the meeting.
The graph declines even faster when you are in a meeting while working for a government agency. I lost my will to live in those meetings is barely over an hour. Thank goodness I quit working for USDA and got a fun job!
poorest graph ever
Not Poor. you are poor.
P.S. First Person to say first…
First!
Your mom is poor.
Buit I made her rich last night….by 5 dollars.
She’s also rich with protein and stuff at the moment.
That’s Numberwang!
OMG, SO TRUE! but you get short on the lenght.
Meeting in my office reach like 4h, that is a uber chain massacre
Should be steeper

Well, creating graphs is one way to kill time at a meeting.

So no one is looser? Is anyone tighter?
Oops… Wrong graph…

The title made me actually laugh (yes, out loud, though not all that loud). Very accurate description of many, many meetings I’ve been in!
Can someone please stab me in eye with pen???
I don’t mind meetings unless I’m at a job that relies on deadlines.
Meetings gets me out of having to do actual work.
EIGHTEENTH!
Yeah! Meetings are boring! That’s such a witty and clever thing to notice and point out!!

found this graph at 2.75 hours into a meeting… I guess I should get started killing myself
