In order for a meeting to be considered successful and effective in my chosen place of employment (I chose them and they're lucky to have me), we must first have a meeting about said meeting. This pre-meeting meeting invariably includes confabulation, obfuscation and the tabling of various movements, motions and motives. By the end of these meetings I'm usually in the frame of mind to "table a motion" of a completely different kind and, much like this photo, there always seems to be one "Grande Fromage" who thinks they can strut in when the mood takes them and assume control of the group. Enough I say!
This is also SOOC and from a fair distance. It was bleedin' cold too.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@je77rey Thanks very much - I was going to go with "Camp Commandant" because of that big fella throwing his weight around, but after my morning Staff Meeting seemed like a better option!
well he really is a bit of a hunk and has a very important strut happening - if I were the bird in front I would be tempted to *accidentally* stick out my foot hahahahahaha
btw like this a lot very stunning light
It's been 13 years since I retired... are you seriously telling me that no progress has been made since then? We-ell, I'm gobsmacked, completely astonished... I was sure that modern business would run on highly oiled wheels and, and, and ... oh crap, will people never learn?
And if I was one of them, I don't think I would be arguing with him. I would be letting him do what he damn well wants. And well done with the description sir, I enjoy it when you employ your skills as a wordsmith! :)
@shawnasays Thanks very much - I was desperate for them all to take flight just for a chaos shot! @voiceprintz Thanks very much :) @annied Thanks very much indeed...its a whole new style for me! AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! @vignouse Apparently not! Some managers in my corporate world even employ the term "Blue Sky Thinking" which just makes me want to throttle them! @tomtom Thank you very much kind sir! @julzmaioro Thanks very much. He just came waltzing on through the group... @rustymonkey Thanks very much:) @eyeamlisa Thanks very much - I considered (briefly) setting one of them on fire....
@graemestevens I had to wait until I'd stopped laughing before I could key in any comment Graeme. I love the shot, very well captured indeed, but the contextual comment takes the cake, or should that be 'cheese'?
How true all these words are - I will have to fav it - not so much because the photograph is exceptional, but because I may need to refer to it again sometime after a meeting…. fav
I can image the chatter and hullabaloo ( a word that's not used enough in my opinion ) as one suggests an actual useful motion followed by the never ending sub committee meetings.
@livvy Thanks very much :) @golftragic Thanks very much, pleased to have made someone laugh today! @jess1204 Thanks very much - it doesn't happen to me often but I detest it when it does! @tabarlett Thanks very much :) @jules13 Thanks very much :) @dide Thanks, much appreciated :) @chippy1402 Hullabaloo is an exceptional word and should be used much more often - and the debate over any motion is enough to make me consider murder as a viable alternative to Item 4 on any agenda... @newbank Thank you. Thank you. And you too :) @andrewkru Thanks very much indeed...I really "enjoy" meeting meetings... @gigiflower Mine too...my direct boss is in Auckland and he's okay, but there's another "superior" in Auckland who really does believe himself superior to everyone and really knows how to strut it out. Never trust anyone who goes "tanned" (orange) in the winter in my humble opinion.
Super title, you really made me smile. Gosh, we do waste so much time with the bla bla part of life don't we. Love the bossy bird in your shot and his attitude. Really like the crop too.
@brigette Thanks very much :) @hermann Thanks, and lucky you!!! @lilminimonka Thanks very much...completely fluked ;) @shannejw Thanks again :) @lynnilou Sure do, and I keep getting covered in droppings!!! @creativefool Thanks - I'm nowhere near the head cheese. I think I have too much respect for myself ;) @happysnap Thanks very much - we spend about a day in total every week on the bla bla part at work...and get no further... @bill_fe Thanks very much, appreciated @roseolivia Thank you very much :) @wearing0 Thanks very much :) @jaynspain Well, he thought he was, and thanks very much
@graemestevens hahaha I just saw your don't trust the 'orange' in winter - I don't trust it in summer either - but then rightly or wrongly I am a sun worshipper and believe that any change in pigment should come from there - not a bottle or spray can lol
@anne_k Thanks very much...it happens far to often! @annied Likewise, although I have tendency to burn, go bright red, peel and be back to square one...natural light hurts me too...
@graemestevens well it is a known fact that vampires, devils, demons and such do not cope well with the light - creatures of the dark have their limitations like the rest
