'I did that once too! Wrote something like "just writing things down so it looks like I'm paying attention". I still have the notebook at work,' commented another.

"我也这么干过!写一些类似于'随便写写,这样看起来我在认真参会'的东西在纸上.我还保存有工作时的记事本",另一位用户评论道.

The writer of another note, obtained by Daily Mail Australia, appears to have taken the man's advice, using dot points to jot down what a waste of time his hour and a half meeting was.

《每日邮报》澳洲版还拿到了另一份会议记录,写下这份会议记录的员工似乎已经采纳了前文所述员工的建议,使用圆点记下了这个长达一个半小时的会议有多浪费时间.

'Projector not working – standard. Good start.'

"投影仪坏掉了,普遍情况,不错的开始."

'No one is listening to you mate.... bla bla bla,' he wrote.

"讲话的这位,没人在听你说啥啊……吧啦吧啦吧啦",他写道.

He then took down the date of a quality audit with a short reminder to 'chuck a sickie' that day.

之后他记下了质量审核的日期,加了个简短提醒,那天"请个病假".

'That's it. Great. 1.5 hours gone,' he wrote, marking the end of the meeting.

"就这样,不错,会开了1个半小时",会议结束时他写道.

The unidentified officer worker sat through another unbearable meeting on Thursday and compiled a sassy account of what was said after wasting some time while he waited for his boss to arrive. 这位身份不明的员工周四还耐着性子开完另一个让人难以忍受的会议,写下了一份活泼的会议记录.等老板到会还耽误了一会儿时间.

'Oh yeah, 10 minutes still waiting for directors to arrive.'

"噢耶,还有10分钟主管才能来."

'No worries, plenty of time, got nothing else to do,' he wrote.

"别担心,时间足够,没啥可做的",他写道.

He slammed one man for his 'boring' contribution, asking 'how does this relate to my project?'

他还批评了一位在会上说的话"很无聊"的人,问道:"这和我的项目有啥关系?"

'Wow this guy is putting people to sleep. Seriously.' he said, adding that he was the only one in the meeting who bothered to take notes.

"噢这人把大家都催眠了,讲真",他写道,他还补充说他是会上唯一一个不厌其烦地做记录的人.
