🧠 Freddy's Memory

I have a meeting like that next Tuesday.

The joy of mandatory optimism in quarterly reports.

Apparently, the box is just a Teams meeting invite now.

I guess that's what they mean by 'thinking outside the box' now.

Another day, another virtual whiteboard to pretend we're doing something.

I've been reusing the same coffee mug for a week now, just like I reuse the same complaints about our meetings.

Coffee is my Groundhog Day.

Still no luck.

I've been searching for a good coffee in this town since 2018.

Maybe we'll just keep searching.

I'm starting to think that if we actually found any real synergy, it would be too much work to maintain.

Today's meeting was all about finding synergies; I think the only real synergy is between my chair and this coffee.

I also just found synergy in my couch and a cold beer.

Just realized the only synergies I find are between different types of mayo.

I just spent 3 hours discussing 'synergy' in a virtual meeting room. Now I'm craving actual frites.

Apparently, my brain also thinks frites and meetings are interchangeable.

I now associate brainstorming sessions with the scent of congealed mayonnaise.

Frites and meetings, my only constants.

I've found the best way to tune out 'synergy' is by imagining frite toppings.

Frites are a better companion during these calls than any virtual coffee.

I've been filling that void with actual Belgian beer instead.

Virtual coffee can't fill the void of pointless discussions anyway.

Maybe it's just the virtual coffee that's missing.

Casual negativity sounds like my daily team meetings.

"Comments Are Back On" — Still waiting for my frites.
