Stand In The Place Where You Work

Liz:  These are the joys of working for Kelloggs.  I'm not even sure how to respond to this email.  I'm concerned my eyes might get stuck in the back of my head from all the eyerolling.  This is the email that all the developers received:

Dev Team,
I am thinking that I would like to begin implementing the "15 minute daily stand-up meeting". Briefly, the stand-up is a meeting where the people remain standing up to keep the duration of the meeting under 15 minutes. At the meeting, teams answer the following questions:
What did we do yesterday? (or since the last meeting)
What will we do today? (or until the next meeting)
Are there any obstacles?

Yersa:  Fun!   This begs the question, are you guys gonna play R.E.M.'s "Stand" at every one of these meetings?

Liz:  Probably.

Yersa:  I don't know how you work at Kelloggs with a straight face.  I'd kick someone in the PopTart if they sent me an email like that.

Liz:  "PopTarts.  Crazy good."
