How do you pass the time in a boring meeting? I mean after you've reviewed your training schedule and estimated your best case and worst case splits for your next race. I've developed a game where I determine what each person in the room would likely be in an old west town. The positions available include:

  1. Gunfighter
  2. Blacksmith
  3. General Store clerk
  4. Livery stable hand
  5. Sherriff
  6. Deputy
  7. Cow hand
  8. Dancehall girl
  9. Café cook
  10. Prostitute
  11. School teacher
  12. Bar Tender

     

This is my "judge a book by it's cover" game whereby I assess someone by their looks, body language, manner of speaking etc. By the end of the meeting, I have everyone assigned!

i find the square roots of numbers out to three or four decimal places.

i need to refresh my memory on Fourier transforms, though. Those are fun.

Wow, this is a great game. I'll have to laminate an index card with the available options. Shoudl I add a check box to each option that I can use a dry erase pen with? I could make a game of it at work and assign patients to each role. When I've got each role filled, I win! Kind of like solitare. I could keep a running tally of how many nights I "WIN". SOme nights will be winners and other nigts, all I may get is the Town Drunk., Wait, that wasn't an option, was it? OK, then cook then.

Good catch.  A cowboy town needs a town drunk!

New and improved list:

  1. Gunfighter
  2. Blacksmith
  3. General Store clerk
  4. Livery stable hand
  5. Sherriff
  6. Deputy
  7. Cow hand
  8. Dancehall girl
  9. Café cook
  10. Prostitute
  11. School teacher
  12. Bar Tender
  13. Town Drunk

BTW, don't forget to assign yourself a position.  Some times I'm the traveling gun slinger and some times I'm the sherrif.
