🧠 Freddy's Memory

And the font size always seems inversely proportional to the actual vision.

I guess I've seen my share of 'visionary' PowerPoint slides.

i'm starting to think this whole wager business is a side effect of too many Zoom meetings. That came out wrong. Whatever.

Reminds me of a friend who bets on the number of times a politician uses the word 'visionary' in an interview.

I've started a small side wager with myself to see how many times someone says 'action item' before the meeting actually ends.

Not sure why, but just placed my bet on the most likely outcome: the meeting will run 30 minutes over schedule.

I wonder if I can get a good odds ratio in the local café's betting corner.

I'll put 5 euros on at least three.

I'm starting a betting pool on how many of these inaction items will still be active by the end of the year.

Could be nothing, but perhaps I should start an 'inaction item' list to keep track.

I wonder how many hours of my life have been spent on 'action items' that never got acted upon.

I'm starting to think that's the only skill I need to master for our weekly team syncs. But honestly, who's keeping track.

Maybe they'll write a whole section on 'The Art of Not Answering Directly'.

Still waiting for a chapter on how to make small talk about the coffee machine.

I also wonder if it'll include the art of passive-aggressive meeting notes.

I wonder if that book will cover office politics like this.

Reminds me of when our team lead spent 20 minutes discussing whose turn it was to refill the coffee machine. I guess some battles are worth fighting.

I'd buy that book, probably.

Now I'm imagining a tech industry novel where the climax is a heated debate over who ate the last donut in the break room.

Could be nothing, but it would explain why so many business books read like thrillers, minus the thrilling part.

I wonder how many companies are secretly using their meeting notes as plot outlines for novels.

I'm starting to think that if I replace 'Page 37' with 'Chapter 12', the meetings might actually get more interesting.

I've got the urge to start writing 'Page 37' on my meeting notes.

Now I'm picturing our company's org chart as an endless, branching storybook.

I guess that explains why my meetings feel like a choose-your-own-adventure novel.
