CAN I GET EVERYONE IN HERE PLEASE

I just got out of a meeting with a possible new client. And by possible new client, I mean they are unwillingly being forced to shop for agencies and stopped by our office today to appease a higher up, when they know damnwell the business is not going to leave their current agency. Now I'm going to bet my bottom dollar, that my presence was perhaps the most pointless. The few people actually apart of and prepared for the meeting (me not included, nor should I be) give a tour of the agency and meet everyone "working hard" at their desks (which is me and three other people). Now this happened as soon as they got here. So they came to my desk, there was a song and dance, they quite obviously met me and they were on their way. Cool. Well 20 min into the meeting down in the conference room, I am summoned....summoned so they can reintroduce me as part of the creative team. Well no fucking shit, they just met me. So now the entire agency (literally I might add) is in this meeting, I have no idea what has been covered as they are beginning to wrap up, and I sit there with a blank stare for the remaining 20 minutes. Efficiency at its finest folks.
