Woman in meeting only making notes to look like she has faintest clue what’s going on

Occasional Digest - a story for you

A WOMAN in a meeting decided to make some notes before her colleagues figured out she had not not been listening to a word that had been said. 

Hannah, not her real name, , who is not entirely sure what her job is, was in a meeting about something or other when she noticed people were writing stuff down. 

She said: “I thought, ‘shit, I better look busy’. So I wrote ‘more, more, social media’ and then smiled to myself.” 

Hannah then sat with her pen in her hand for the rest of the meeting before writing down her five favourite albums. 

She added: “’Jagged Little Pill21, that Pulp album that Common People was on, The Best of Crowded House and the soundtrack to When Harry Met Sally.” 

Hannah’s boss, Helen, not her real name, said: “I like to see people writing stuff down in meetings. It proves that they’re terrified of being sacked and thus will do my bidding on a wide range of other, non-work related matters. 

“Like Hannah , for example. She’s going to procure a colourful assortment of recreational drugs for me and if she doesn’t I’m going to ask to see her notes from the last meeting.”
