A couple weeks ago I was offered the opportunity to join the top management of our company for special training for a new process to create goals and implement useful action plans. The training was overall quite helpful and will hopefully be a useful tool for the people more involved with the operations. My role was to add to the discussion and provide some financial analysis to the goals the teams were setting.
I was quite proud of myself for my level of attention to these long meetings given my track record from school. I had very little difficulty fighting off sleep despite the grueling 12.5 hour meeting on day 1 and 10 hour meeting on day 2. However, I did find myself a little stir-crazy on the second day and started to doodle a bit. As we walked our way through the 110 page power point, I couldn’t help but notice the ridiculous clipart pictures tossed in. Some were just silly like a caveman chipping at a wheel demonstrating that we don’t need to “reinvent the wheel,” while others just came off creepy when printed without colors. To entertain myself, I took to adding dialog to some of the pictures. This one in particular was a gem to work with. It came up every time we had a breakout group session:
Despite the concern I had that someone would pick up my book by mistake and see the comments, I pressed on. Here are some of my cartoons I thought you would find amusing:
I’d love some reader input here. The main reason I put the blank one on top is to get others to copy and add there own dialogue. I don’t think you can embed the picture in a comment, but you can put it online and post a link, or email it to me, and I’ll make another post with reader’s cartoons.
Thanks for reading.
