I think it all started going downhill when they closed the bar to make us focus more on the speaker. Apparently, they needed to educate the audience about proper behavior. I was attending this networking event, which shall go unnamed, to meet a banker. However, before the meeting, the gods had put 2 hours of boredom. Then my cell phone camera started to kick into action.

Talks were interspersed with "Granada! Granaaaada!" Why, oh whyyy?

*

The audience, probably bored as hell. At least these guys got a seat.

*

Talk about matching. I'm bored.

*

Some guys in the audience had been given a gadget to play with. Nice distraction, I guess.

*

There is a hole in the screen. Quick! Let's escape before they close it!

*

Guards were patrolling the exits...

*

One (minor) reason to stay...

*

There is still a hole in the wall, except this time it is swallowing the presentations.

*

Did I mention that I'm bored?

*

This guy looks hungry.

*

Two working class people, about to earn their daily bread.

*

I'm booored!

*

Still bored. And more obnoxious than ever.

*

I knew it! The guy made it to food pole position. Probably a grad student.

THE END MY FRIEND THIS IS THE END---IT FINALLY CAME.
