Have you ever imagined how a nail, trapped in a time loop right at the moment when the hammer hits its head, feels? You probably do if you have attended a meeting with three managers have a technical discussion.
You explain something till the end with hand gestures and white board drawings and simple non-technical words. At the end of it, one of the three makes a i-have-understood-it-completely-except-for-the-last-part face. You gather the last drop of patience that is somehow alive in you right toe and start explaining the last part. This goes on until they make you go through everything for atleast seven times and THEN they start to come up with suggestions. You are at a point when you know that it is gonna last for few more hours. You request your brain to find the funny side of all this. You stay quiet and enjoy the words of wosdom flying around you. Even then some ridiculous suggestion begs of you to try to explain the things again. And you find yourself back to square one.
At the end of it all hammer schedules another appointment with the nail the next day.
Yours Sinerely,
