Keys

The following are time-tested and reporter-approved keys to making it through horrendously boring meetings:
-Make sure there's food. Curing those hunger pangs while simultaneously being able to enjoy the bliss of everyone shutting up for a bit is unbeatable.
-Bring reinforcements. My typical cache consists of water, coffee, candy, gum, cell phone in case you get a chance to send "save me!" text messages.
-Envision everyone's naked. No wait, that's for another situation.
-Practice typing really fast. The looks of disdain are worth it.
-Perfect the art of hair twirling.
-Make your weekly to-do list in your mind.
-Daydream.
-Decide who of the meeting attendees would win in a cage match.
-Decide who's the biggest partier of the bunch.
-Create life scenarios for everyone. ... i.e. Louisa is probably a crazy cat lady and lives in a house with secret mazes ...
-Laugh at everything everyone says.
