Every time I attend an office meeting, it starts with a clear agenda but somehow ends up like a treasure hunt without a map. We dive into mysterious 'action items,' chase down missing reports like they're hidden gold, and occasionally someone even suggests a secret handshake to unlock the meeting’s real purpose. By the time it’s over, I’m half expecting to find a pirate hat and a parrot had been running the show all along.

Turns out office meetings aren’t about decisions — they’re just elaborate adventures to misplace time in style.
