Meeting Expectations

MEETING EXPECTATIONS What are your meeting expectations? She said In a businesslike tone that to me suggested She’d just learned the two-word term from a seminar For post-grads in a conference centre downtown, not far. What do you want to see coming out of the meeting? You want maybe less around-the-bush beating? Clear focus on important points? More hands-on experience, my lad? I wanted none of those business items. What I wanted she had. She - was who I wanted to see...... coming out of the meeting. She was not too tall, not too slim, well-worth greeting, Not too old, not too young, not too shy or fresh. It’s what I had always wanted, to mesh and thresh with her flesh. I said my meeting expectations have little to do with business, its true Although I’d definitely like to do the business with you. What I want to see coming out of the meeting is us birds-of-a-feather: Maybe a drink or some dinner, but then I want us to flock together. Yes I like having a clear focus on one or two of your important points, And I badly want more hands-on experience with you, but not in this joint. Instead of meeting here we’ll be meat-ing in a café Chinese or Indian Instead of expectation, for dinner we will expect Asian. .................................................................................
