What really goes on in meetings

OK, so, that’s me, Sarah, Creative Director, second from right with my back to the camera, as per usual (I’m allergic to having my photo taken; no really, I come out in gurning faces). I’m concentrating reeeeally hard on stuff, technical bits and bobs, to do with actually building the site. The men - actually, mainly women - in hard hats bit.

Yeah, right.

I’m convinced I’m the woman with two brains. God’s honest truth, swear on my cat’s life, here’s what flowed through my mind, in pretty much exactly this order (note: sorry boss)...

‘We need a good handover plan, between the design agency and the technical build company, otherwise our beautiful site might...

‘Hmm, I really like that white cardigan Naomi’s wearing. Knitted sleeves and floaty wrap bit, I bet that’s really useful when it’s neither warm nor cold...

‘Etel’s wearing big earings and big necklace and big scarf and it looks quite nice actually. Wouldn’t have thought of that. I don’t have any big earrings. Where can I get big earrings?...

‘Yes, let’s focus on building the tool that will allow users to save their favourite stores, shoes, bags etc, from anywhere on the web...

‘No big earrings but I am wearing my new big necklace today. Big wooden hoops linked together. I wonder if anyone’s noticed. Has anyone noticed? Why hasn’t anyone noticed? Why does Ruth look so tanned? Naomi’s hair is actually quite long, and curly, I didn’t know it was curly, is that a cowl-necked top that Dawn’s wearing? That’s nice...

‘Yes, great, let’s do a workshop on how to get the best video content...

‘I might go shopping in my lunch-hour...

‘Agreed. Thanks guys, let’s meet next week, same time, same place. Good work!’
