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.
