Hi Yoni, I once sat in an important meeting when my manager pulled out a pair of nail clippers and started clipping his nails on the boardroom table of our biggest prospect for that quarter. I was appalled and so was our host. I would add personal grooming to the list of things not to do in a meeting.

Bad behavior! I'll add it to the list!

Hi Yoni,

You make very good points. I must admit I have been known to doodle and get distracted especially when someone rambles on and does not get to the point.

Thanks for the reminders.

Susan,

Thanks for the feedback! Doodling and distraction in small doses is okay...we're all human and people can be boring.

It's just good not to get caught and to know when the cameras are watching!

Have a great day!

Duncan,

Thanks for stopping by and reading! You are right, he should have stuck with comedy, though I never really thought he was very funny :(

Anyway, a big CONGRATULATIONS on your position as esteemed BizSugar moderator!

Also, looking forward to reading more of your great submissions.

All the best,

Yoni

Maybe he should go back to Saturday Night Live and do "Stuart Smiley" bits - those were SUPPOSED to be amusing!

Wonderfully done. You have an amazing knack for telling a story and making things very interesting. Our blog writer will be on vacation for three weeks in mid=September. Perhaps you would like to fill in temporarily? I will email you the details.

Heidi, Alan and Shoshi,

Thanks for your kind responses. Yes, it certainly makes a bad impression. It is a lesson which was pretty easily translated to the world of business!

Thanks,

Yonatan, You are right. He IS a businessman and sleeping on the job doesn't cut it. Especially when your position is so important and the cameras are watching.
