I doodle now and always have. My most entertaining doodle memory occurred several years ago when I worked in a department with a supervisor who really disliked me. I was the interim supervisor when she was hired, and maybe she resented me for that? I don't know, doesn't matter anymore. One day during one of our staff meetings, I started doodling. I wasn't ignoring her and doodling. I was listening, taking notes and doodling at the same time. Like Cyn said, doodling helps me listen better. Anyway, in the middle of the meeting she suddenly accussed me of drawing pictures of her with a missle aimed at her. What??? I was shocked, speechless and surprised. I was so unprepared for that comment I didn't know what to say. I had not doodled a face, a body or anything remotely resembling a human or a missile! It was just a doodle. There were some nervous laughs in the room and the meeting progressed. But it sure made staff meetings more interesting after that.
