That flushing sound you hear

We have flown everyone in the company in for an all-hands meeting tomorrow. Most people arrived yesterday. This has made my productivity drop to zero as I have had to deal with a constant barrage of questions and other mini-meetings.

Today, our CEO decided to cancel the meeting for nebulous reasons ("strategic issues under negotiation").

The amount of money this will cost is staggering, considering the air fares, hotels, rental cars, meals, and lost productivity.

Why don't we just take a big pile of cash and burn it? It'd be a lot more efficient and, given the cold temperatures here (~10F), would actually help keep the place warm.
