St
Is that any way to greet someone. Just standing there watching until I notice you? How long you been there?

BB
Hello St. How are you today?

St
Well my Facebook status says over-committeed. Not a spelling error.

BB
You do seem to be quite involved in meetings. Do you not enjoy them?

St
I think I see them as a necessary evil. If getting people together at the same time saves time then they are good. But too many of them are about opinions rather than action.

BB
That's your opinion I imagine

St
I see what you did there. But I do tend to volunteer to be the secretary/note-taker because firstly someone has to do it, secondly I can do it and thirdly it gives me something to do in duller meetings.

BB
But in your ideal meeting?

St
I'd be charged with preparing material to bring for discussion which someone else would chair and someone else would record. Then the brains really could storm a bit

BB
So in making sure the meetings you go to are not dreadful you have jeopardised the thing it would be most useful to have you at a meeting for?

St
About it.

BB
And for you there is no need for a meeting to 'get to know one another' because you're quite happy to dive in deep at once and it never occurs to you that others need a bit of a run-up at that?

St
Oh it occurs to me. I just think they're all wrong.

BB
Opinion is divided - everyone else says you do but you say you don't?

St
Oh that makes me sound very arrogant.

I hate it when you look at me like that.

What are you doing with that rope? BB. I can't move now. No, don't press publish. I can't tell people this yet. I need to be gentle BB, BB, oh no...
