Can everyone see my screen? Okay good. I put literal paragraphs of stuff into my presentation, and I'm going to read it all to you verbatim. This is much better than email.

I’m the first person to say “this meeting should’ve been an email”, but often it’s because I’m slated as “required” on something I’d otherwise be a Cc on.
