I have a tendency to doodle while in meetings at work. Sometimes I do it just to keep myself awake. Sometimes I do it because most meetings are torturously BORING.<\/p>\n

Sometimes… I get caught. My manager saw this first picture below in a meeting yesterday and asked, “Is that drawing of anyone in particular?”<\/p>\n

It was tempting to say, “Not really. But you inspired the dumb look in his eyes!”<\/p>\n

I swear that most meetings are unnecessary and contribute to the overall dumbing-down of our society. These doodles are proof of just how dumb some of us are becoming.<\/p>\n

(If you can decipher my handwriting, you may find tidbits of oddity here and there.)<\/p>\n
