b. seminar, originally uploaded by The Searcher.

I endured a Seminar on Communications in the Workplace. Four. Hours. Long. We had to write down any "a-Ha!" moments we had during the horror. Here are some of mine:

The first lightbulb graphic appeared (on the 150 slide Powerpoint presentation) only five minutes in.

The word "Synergy" appeared first at the 30 minute mark.

"Be in the question."

You don't have to raise your hands if you have to go "number one" or "number two".

"Get off of your dot and into my dot."

"I'm constantly trying to get my dot bigger."

"I read a book, called "How to Read People Like a Book."

And my favorite: "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing."

So needless to say -I mean communicate, I spent most of the time sketching, and trying to remember the lyrics to a-ha's "Take On Me."
