...And the second rule is, I'm not supposed to talk about it.
This afternoon my producer was unable to make it to our weekly post-show meeting. Which was fine, as he usually says the exact same thing every week -- "This was a great show, so-and-so did a fantastic job, the such-and-such was wonderful, I think we had a lot of good content, a solid show."
In his absence, I was going to do a snarky impression of the preceding quote. Before I got a chance to utter one superflous adjective, one of the managers said: "Well, everyone, this was a GREAT show! It was FANTASTIC! That story was WONDERFUL!"
And then my manager's manager chimed in with: "Yes, the show was SOLID, we had a LOT OF GOOD CONTENT!"
Then the boss of the whole damn station said: "See, this is why you shouldn't miss meetings."
