meetings

I think I've figured out why so many work presentations bore the entire room to tears.


I'm giving a presentation this evening - on vegetation management. I could summarise the whole thing in 30 seconds, and end with "Also, check your handouts for more info."

I've been given 10 minutes.


Currently, I am desperately trying to lengthen my presentation any way I know how. To get it to the required 10 minutes, I'm probably going to have to:
1) have a rambling and pointless introduction
2) discuss, in great detail, where the handout is from
3) give them lots of information they don't need to know
4) repeat myself a great deal



Yes, I am deliberately trying to bore the room to tears.

Last weekend, I had to give an hour and 45-minute presentation to a bunch of families. OMG. I only needed about half a hour!
