The unholy trinity of unproductivity
Thursday, June 28th, 2007 @ 11:52 pm
I’ve had to sit through hours of conference calls before. I have yet to encounter one that actually gave me any knowledge. In fact, I’m pretty sure they actually render whole sections of my brain useless for hours afterward.
I’ve also had to sit through web conferences. Theses usually cause me to consider the Amish lifestyle. Plowing fields or web conference. Tough call there.
And then there’s Powerpoint. The ultimate force of evil to have been released upon the Earth. Sitting through a Powerpoint presentation usually causes me to wish for death. I don’t generally care if it’s me or the presenter, I just want the pain to stop.
Today I had an experience that I’m reasonably certain violates some aspect of the Geneva Convention.
Somehow, someone got the bright idea to combine a conference call with a web conference all for the sole purpose of watching a Powerpoint presentation. Not just any Powerpoint either. It was one I had already seen twice.
Now there was a productive way to spend 2 hours of my life.
