I hated the round table team meetings,
especially when I was drafted in
to the big boys (and girls) gathering
to deliver our departmental headlines
One time it was my turn and I mumbled through two brief points
wrapped up my open mic session in five seconds flat job done
The chief editor looked perturbed slash amused
and uttered the brief judgement
'fulsome'
Which I have added to my list
of trigger words and phrases
we don't need to list them all here
Learning outcome: speak slowly and prepare
some detailed points of interest
don't rush or mumble and think you have
nothing of import to import
It is a chance to show colleagues
you are a valuable person with a different perspective
alternatively, quit your job
