Negotiating Time Travel

I had a meeting today; over a project I am looking forward to working on, and was getting lost when they were negotiating.  I wasn't getting lost because I didn’t know what they were talking about, but was getting lost because I was day dreaming.  When people are throwing numbers back and forth and insisting on this or that with no intent on budging, I always wonder how many different outcomes could be possible and what they would be.  OK, I am not trying to be confusing, but this is where it gets fun because what If you could time travel and could go back in time and change what you say or do to see what the outcome would be.  You could tell the lawyers, that are making no since or that are trying to cheat you, to kiss your ass.  You have a list of people you could tell to shut up and sit down if they continue to linger on the same things over and over to hide something that they don't want touched in the contract.  After about 30 minutes of day dreaming and thinking of all my outcomes, I started laughing so hard I was coughing.  You could have heard a pin drop; everyone in the room turned around and looked at me as I stood up.  I said, “Well guys, you know what I want and you know what I need, but time travel is just a theory.”  They looked at me like I was crazy as I walked out the door.   Fuck’em!   They will give me more of what I want closer to the end of the year.
