Lollipop Land

Something I've been meaning to do for ages: wrote up my notes on How to run a successful meeting. When you charge a day rate, someone wasting three hours of a day with a useless meeting is something you get snippy about.

For me, that snippiness manifests as ultra-sarcasm - if someone's wandering off into meaningless flights of fancy and wishful thinking instead of contributing to the meeting's conclusion, I interject with the phrase "...and while we're in Lollipop Land, I'd like a pink-maned pony to ride across the candyfloss clouds." Why I came up with such an effeminate expression I've no idea - and I've even less idea how My Little Pony somehow whinnyed its way into my lexicon - but it works.

Anyway, here's the guide.
