Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for January 25, 2021

It’s a meeting that is actually eternal rather than just seeming eternal.

“By the way, your presentation starts in five minutes. And every five minutes after that.”

You saying demons won’t leave a meeting? They’re evil, not stupid.

That one would be very galling indeed for a lot of us.

The agenda will be hell and we’re recording all the minutes. Before we start with general business are there any apologies?

The meeting that never ends. Does it repeat itself endlessly? Or does it have to continue inventing new topics to discuss? Opinions?

The meetings that I had to attend once in a while were not eternal but they were infernal!!

They don’t need to actually make it eternal; all meetings feel that way after an hour or so.

Are you sure? It looks like he can’t stop staring at that she devil and he may not mind continuing to stare for eternity. And she’s staring right back at him too.

And we’ve already finished off the doughnuts and coffee.

In George Orwell’s 1984, the infamous torture room in the Ministry of Love was Room 101. The real Room 101 was the conference room at BBC where staff meetings were held when Orwell worked there. That was his most inhuman torture

That’s why I like working from home. Turn off the camera and take a nap.

Oh goody! I don’t have to shovel fuel for the fire

I knew that hell implemented Agile methodology

Hey, I’ve been in meetings like that! Now they’re on Zoom. . .. wheeeeee!

Saw this in Far Side years ago. I guess cartoonists don’t worry about plagiarism

He must have been that guy at the end of a meeting when everyone is ready to leave who answers the question, does anyone have any questions?

It’s back to church for me!

WOW! Talk about eternal damnation and agony…

The “donuts” are stale and the coffee is bitter and watery.

Has no one here heard about social distancing? I went through the lockdowns. Now that seemed like an eternity.

Looks like he didn’t get out much.

And no donuts. Brrraahaahaa!

Even in hell women are under-represented at meetings… :)

I’ve been in a lot of meetings that seemed eternal

Don’t forget the endless stream of pointless PowerPoint slides…

I see that female demons have broken the brimstone ceiling.

Laughing out loud…perfect

With no coffee and last week’s leftover cake.

But something is happening and you don’t know what it is

Do you, Mr. Jones?

Did we mention the bathrooms are out of order?
