They were getting to the meat of it a little faster than he would have liked - a sign that maybe he'd held onto all of this for too long. Barney considered switching to shots, but... well, they were committed. He remembered reading some required business self-help book at GNB once about this sort of thing occurring in meetings, some tripe about how unbridled candor could change companies. Staring down the gauntlet of Feeling Things ahead of him, Barney really hoped that multimillionaire guru dude had known what he was talking about.
