Yet another meeting where I might not have been paying 100 per cent total attention. I have gleaned the following from the minutes. Sadly, I was taking the minutes."This will be a new way for working," said my learned colleague, "A new way of working that will mark a three-fold revolution in our organisation."
"Coo."
"Firstly - Integration. All our systems will be joined-up at last. No more will we have seperate computer systems for different departments."
There may have been something about singing from songsheets at this stage.
"Secondly - Collaboration. We will work together as never before, adding both value and efficiency to this business."
One or two fellow delegates might have applauded at this point. Lack of coffee and a slashed biscuit budget made things more that a little hazy.
"And finally, and most importantly - rounding up and shooting of counter-revolutionaries.
"We can not and will not tolerate dissent, slackers and saboteurs in this company. Transgressors will be dealth with in such a way as to maximise staff obedience and to minimise redundancy pay-outs.
"Are there any questions?"
"......!"
"Good. GOOD. I understand you know where to get hold of tin baths and quicklime, Scary. Get onto it."
Wow. I got an action point.

First for having them up against the wall.
What else did you do over the weekend, Debster?
Well, these minutes you've recorded should probably prevent them from ever asking you to minutes again. Win, I should think.
Yep. Sounds like meetings at my office to.
Heh heh heh 'Having them up against the wall'
er... I'll get me coat
Action points... too much like work, to me.
Well, the most efficient way of integrating the software of all other departments, is to eliminate all other departments... ipso facto.
