Your haiku often move me out of the mental monotony of the daily grind. This was just the stretch break my brain needed! Thanks Jason. 🤙🏼

"a blank legal pad

holds the notes from a meeting

where nothing was said"

I was in that meeting... My doodles are usually stacked squares or tornado swirls and the occasional note to coworker next to me, begging, "please make it stop." Short of pulling the fire alarm, no recourse...😜

Thanks! I think boring, pointless meetings might be the closest thing we have to a universal coming-of-age experience in our culture 🤣

I think you’re right. I was the impertinent one who objected to meeting agendas with no verbs.
