The problem with "trail blazing" is that you are the first person to crash headlong into the dung heap...

Work meetings come up with some awesome quotes sometimes. :)

My favorite (which I can't remember if I posted) was "the sooner we get this done, the sooner they can start dragging their feet on it".

Another favorite of mine was being on a conference call. At some point during the meeting someone hung up, and the conference line indicated it with a beep. The next thing we heard was the call leader demanding, "Who just left the call?!"

Another: for some reason our conference call system wasn't letting one particular guy in (I think he was calling from an odd outside line?). Conveniently, the conference room happened to have two speaker phones on two separate lines. So, that guy was on one speaker phone and everyone else on the conference call was on the other. At some point, there was a prolonged discussion between that one guy and some people dialing in on the other line, so the rest of us in the room had to sit back and watch these two phones talk to each other. We couldn't even mute it and laugh since they needed the audio to be working so they could hear each other.
