Be a post whore!

I heard there was a study that concluded that meetings make people stupid.

Minds wander, personal agendas surface, things don't get done.

I would say abolish meetings, but then what would _____ and ______ do all day? (Names omitted to protect my innocence, and my job.)

I remember in my younger days, when I was first in a position to have to go to a bunch of meetings. I thought I was so official and grown-up. "Oh, my...I have meetings ALL DAY!" Now the thought of a meeting just gets on my nerves.

I remember that too! The first time I sat in a conference room in a leather chair I was like "Ooh, I'm so important." Now I can't stand it. The absolute worst is when I have to run a part of a meeting, and I don't want to be there, and the people there don't want to be there, but there is some boss guy making us all do it. We get these international guests who have some sort of partnership with us, and they show up at our offices and we have to explain to them what we do. But they don't care. They are showing up because they are told to and because they want to see the sights of DC. And I don't want to be there. But there's some bigwig in the corner smiling and nodding and making us all do this thing. Gah. Meetings.

Be careful, glatt. I've just found out that if you complain about meetings you will be sure to have like a thousand meetings in the next week or two.

Poor Sundae... If only you were brought up with threats like, "If you lie, you will go to hell, and your tongue will be cut out!" And that is why to this day, I don't lie, even little white ones.
