    Very interesting meeting

    morning all,

    had a very interesting meeting today, with the customer, you see i am on contract at a big five which is doing outsourced .net operations for a blue chip

    so we had to have a meeting with customer to talk about an architecture change

    and we went to customer's office

    and the meeting room was a standing only meeting room

    first time I've been in one of those, the meeting table was at elbow height

    it was very good, I felt much more comfortable than sitting in a chair, you can walk around express things differently, not so stiff as all couped up in chairs

    anyone else been in a 'standing up' meeting room ?

    very interesting

    Milan.

        Interesting word to describe what happened back then.

          Edit: Yes, they do work.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              I don't like stand up meetings - it's much harder to get some kip...
