I never drew in meetings, I wrote drabbles instead. That way it at least looks like I'm taking notes assiduously.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Neat!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I used to do that! Then, really, I decided the paranoia that someone would actually read my words had a worse payoff, so back to pictures of random dresses and dudes.
I just want to reach the point where I'm "that chick" and no one thinks twice about it. Who knows? Maybe I'm the only one that cares.
I know that Betsy would needlepoint and do other crafts during meetings. I would never dare.

I did needlepoint during a meeting once, and then I got pulled aside and told it looked bad and I needed to stop. Yeesh. I mean...seriously, I was doing cross stitch. It took no mindpower, and not hardly any visual power either--I was doing the part where I was filling in bits, not counting anything!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
At my last job, when my hours were 10-6, I ended up getting a new task dumped on me that required that I be present at 8:00 am meetings on Monday morning, but I didn't need to pay attention, so I would print out the most porny fic I could find and read it in the meetings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, anything that's not pen and paper looks too much like not-work for meetings, I think. Not that it IS any less work than drawing.
I have one coworker who always draws a woman's face, and another who does random doodles.

Now that takes ovaries. I have had problems where people have said things that are titles of porny fics and suddenly I'm flashing back to...stuff. Reading? Never. I totally don't have the stone face for it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Whoohoo, way to go Perkins! Unfortunately, I have so few meetings to go to anymore, that I don't have any reason to do that.
meara, your boss sounds like my old boss. I had to be Ceasar's wife and couldn't do anything that looked "bad", no matter that the boss and his sidekick did whatever the same shit was or worse.

I got to sit in the back of the room, away from the main table, or else I probably wouldn't have either.
