Off-Site: A meeting away from the office. Usually departmental and spent brainstorming and info dumping. In most cases, its 2 or more days at a nice resort/hotel. In our case its 2 blocks from our office at the local commuter chain hotel. The room alternates from Jungles of the Amazon heavy heat and polar vortex with 2.34 minutes of temperate comfort in between. There will be struggles with the PowerPoint clicker (try the power button. Nope. Its the batteries), the flip charts (it slumps like the drunk dude that is always sitting at the end of a bar), the passive aggressive verbal elbow throws over the outlets, the constant stream of coffee and the resulting need to carry conversations into the cramped Ladies room for awkward yet oddly politically correct bio-breaks, and always that one person requiring a food run because some niche food restriction wasnt met by the budget strangled menu. Corporate life. Its not for the faint hearted.
