When I sit in a lecture or meeting I inevitably begin to doodle. Not good doodling by any stretch, but doodling is what it is. I noticed today as I sat in a staff meeting that I always end up drawing the same things. Year after year, speech after boring speech, I always doodle these items:
- men’s lapels
- sneakers
- poofy skirts and dresses
- hamburger
- varsity style block letters
- milkshake
- girl’s ponytail
- eyeball
- paper cup with a straw and a lid
- lightning
You would think after all those many hours of doodling the same objects that I would have gotten halfway decent at it. Don’t kid yourself.
