Will Be Held Captive in a Long Meeting

An unavoidable board meeting. The agenda is long, the subjects sensitive, and those present will be tempted to say more than is necessary. My briefcase will have a couple of cans of double-shot espresso in case I need an extra dose of alertness. I will also adopt a zen attitude as an invisible shield. 

A good time to listen to the rocks grow.

Or the donuts whimper.

Since it is St. Patrick's Day, all snakes will be driven out. 

I have a tie with some green stripes. Am taking no chances.
