I'm condemned to a week-long meeting soon, and it makes me want to put a shotgun in my mouth to even think about it. What can I do to make it more bearable?

I used to zone out in this regular multi hour weekly meeting by picking a random co-worker around the table that day and gaming out them snapping.

Like okay today Sue had it and she snaps. Why? Well she found out her husband cheated on her and she's red with rage towards men. First thing to check is if she between me and the door. Okay if it's men who is the closest man to her she will probably be going for him. What weapons could sue have on her she's got her purse so maybe she has pepper spray or a knife. etc. etc.

entertaining enough to make a lot of time slip by, you look like you're thinking and you are looking around at people. And girl if any of those mfers ever snapped I would have got out of there mark my words.
