Coworkers? Still Jerks, Thursday, August 18, 2016

[heroic_jawline]

"Meetings can be productive things that allow you and your coworkers to be on the same page for projects or the day to day activities involved in your job," Tony said, ever so slightly manic in his smile. He in no way had enough coffee to function as a proper adult for class today. But he was going to soldier no through it like he'd been doing all week. "Or... they can be hellish experiences that waste precious time better spent doing more productive things."

Like braining yourself on your desk.

"Sometimes they start as one and spiral into the other," Steve said. "Especially if a Power Point presentation is involved." And the presenter reads them aloud. Slowly. The worst.

Tony shot him a look and mouthed 'really?" at him. Because that had to be covered in the Geneva Conventions, right? "I can never look at SHIELD the same way," he muttered. "Unfortunately these might just be part of life and the best you can do is get through them without getting into a fist fight."

"So today we're looking for productive solutions to getting through those meetings that isn't sending your AI and pretending to be sick."

Tony. Steve's version, but still.

But now he went and gave this Tony the idea for it. For shame, Steve.

"But creativity is always good," Tony said with a more genuine grin.

Don't doze off.

Brainstorm ways to get out of meetings

Faking your own death only works once.

Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

Who know from boring meetings.

At least this class wasn't boring enough to warrant faking his death. Also it'd be in bad taste for now. Give him a few years of people 'dying' on him a lot.

"Worst meeting you were ever in," Steve muttered. "Go."

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[imafuturist]

Tony had to snort. "Uh, first board meeting after I took control of the company," Tony replied quietly. "My name was apparently 'sport' or 'son'."

"Nice. Got called 'chorus girl' by my CO," Steve shared.

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[imafuturist]

"You do have nice legs," Tony replied thoughtfully. "I can see his confusion."

"Remind me to talk with the Smithsonian and make sure the outfit isn't in the exhibit," he said. "They're gonna open it around Veterans Day. Apparently World War II nostalgia is big now."

Yay.

"I'd blame the History Channel but I haven't seen actual history on it in years," Tony joked.

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

"I learned that my second weekend," Steve said, "but then aliens actually invaded, so..."

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[imafuturist]

"The guy with the hair and the--" Tony did the 'aliens' gesture.

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

"That Loki? Then yeah."

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[imafuturist]

"No, it's--it's a meme," Tony replied. "And I would... I don't know, do something for you I guess since I'm broke now, if you used it on Romanoff."

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

"Is that how it's pronounced?" Steve said. "I was saying it differently."

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[imafuturist]

"...were you saying me-me?" Because now Tony was trying not to think it was hilarious and adorable.

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

Steve nodded. "Yeah."

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[imafuturist]

God help him, he wasn't going to laugh. But he looked like he wanted to.

"And before you run into wrong information, it's gif. Because it stands for graphic interchange format. Not terrible peanut butter."

Steve was looking at his phone and wondering why Fury insisted on scheduling staff meetings at 3:30 on Fridays.

Hopefully he wasn't secretly evil.
