This usually happens after another meeting that I wasn't party to so I guess you could say that meetings suck but meetings you're not invited to have the potential to really, really, really, really suck and they suck hind tits too.T-Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731716371700504933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234266106201179530.post-55513645950579958072010-02-16T20:08:11.632-05:002010-02-16T20:08:11.632-05:00Somehow I got roped into being on the moving commi...Somehow I got roped into being on the moving committee at work and I am now continually being pulled into meetings where we prep for another meeting that is only held to prep for the final meeting.steenky beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570171606663745423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234266106201179530.post-14697193550582416632010-02-16T19:58:35.752-05:002010-02-16T19:58:35.752-05:00Slyde took my comment.

As part of the meeting, we can form a task force, and schedule weekly meeting for the task force to provide status, instead of reading the status email that they send out, because we are too important to READ.Scopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14671603955380819514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234266106201179530.post-58483818538340396582010-02-16T18:02:25.241-05:002010-02-16T18:02:25.241-05:00Man, I'm with you on this one!

They got me away from my desk.

Then you do it and you realize too late that it was stupid and you're mad at yourself for not giving yourself a heads up. <br /><br />Or what if you have a brilliant idea, but you tell yourself its stupid, then someone else does it and you realize that it really was brilliant and then you hate yourself for holding you back from being awesome. <br /><br />Yeah, I work by myself too much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423343578843915247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234266106201179530.post-55133397865842659292010-02-16T11:21:27.323-05:002010-02-16T11:21:27.323-05:00I think this is my worst post ever.
