There was a long meeting today. I don't like to be present a meeting, especially a long one. I always try not to fall a sleep during a meeting. It's like a big fight between sleepiness and me. (--;) I believed I was not the only one, so I looked around carefully during the meeting. I suppose some of my colleagues were quite good actors.
I always try not to close my eyes, because if I close them, I'm pretty much sure I fall asleep. But they closed their eyes! I guess they close their eyes, fall asleep for a few second, gain strength, and wake up. They are pretty awake when they report their business. I admire their skills! I tried not falling asleep today, but I failed. I wasn't pretty awake when I report my stuff. I wasn't sure what I was speaking. I couldn't think right at that time. It was like my brain stopped working at all. I must master a “sleeping during the meeting” skill!!!
Case 1 Hold your forehead with your hands. Cover your face with your hands from the chairperson. Pretend you are reading a copy of your agenda really carefully.
Case 2 Hold your forehead with one of your hand. Cover your face with your hand from the chairperson. Pretend you are taking a memo.
Fold your arms. Sit on a chair and turn your back to the chairperson. Incline your head a little forward.
These are the basic and best skills I've ever seen! I must master some of them!?
