Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

I also expect our space defenders in the next decade to be kickin' back in Dockers.

But first they have to move away from navy or alarming orange flight suits....

Your clothing just isn't always nice to you, is it, ita?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can my silver uniform be a miniskirt and can I have silver knee-high boots with a black stripe up the front?

Only if you post pictures.

Maybe you could pose while holding a futuristic UFO-destroying gun....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The faciliator shouldn't be the note-taker, FYI.

I'm not taking notes -- it's a project planning meeting, so task owners are responsible for writing about their own tasks. I'm responsible for making sure they're organised logically and systematically, without duplication.

And the entire topic of the meeting is something I know nothing about for a customer I know nothing about, and is full of acronyms that I can't expand (or pronounce, which means it's not really an acronym, but whatever).

Five minutes before I leave again.

No, and I'm not sure why.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is this not why god invented flip charts? Granted, it's been a long time since I've been in a meeting.

Flip post-it charts stuck to the walls and desks with post it notes attached. And whiteboarding.

I'm going to die...

HAVE FUN!

Do you have the magic computerized whiteboard? They have one here, but I haven't seen it in action, so I don't know what it actually does.

We had an hour and a half meeting to suss out how a service could be provided to group X, but we're not the group that should be providing the service. We just know too much about it, so X asked us.

It was strange. No one wants to own it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Totally OT, but today's MacHall thoroughly cracked me up: [link]

I wish! I'm trying to keep info off the whiteboard, because I don't want to do any transcription. Aside from typing the post its into Excel and Project.

Okay. Unto the breach.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I have a couple of these, though the UFO-destroying capabilities may not be the best. Unless UFOs can be destroyed by lighted plastic guns that make fun noises.
