I want this video from the perspective of others where he is giving a good presentation and "randomly" starts yelling no and freaking out, and then gets back on track and we just accept it.

[@xacharon]

I was wondering how the rest of the meeting attendees weren't also freaking out over the skips. But maybe they're as checked out of the meeting as Rowan is and don't really care either. :)

Alan is the villain here, booking an all day meeting and destroying all the attendees productivity.

[@supercloudreed]

but it was not a all day meeting when you do not skip. if you skip in meeting, you end up making it longer without knowing. most of the info Alan try to say in the meeting, hand to be redo before skip happen in order for the others to know. it only going to bite Rowan in the backside and there is no do over. Main building Quest can not be start over do to they are time events.
