“Power Lunch”? is that for superheroes in the workplace? that might explain why no food is allowed! Did you ever see Batman wolfing down a sub during a seminar? Superman gnoshing on chicken ceasar salad?

no, those are lunches that are plugged in. extension cords all over the place.

Due to my increasing bitterness and cynicism when it comes to all things work place, I have largely given up on the idea of “professional development”, even if food is offered (presumably as a bribe). This has done nothing but enhance my reputation as “that old curmudgeon”.
