M.E.E.T.I.N.G.

Most Egregious Exercise Toward Inefficiency Now Going.

I loathe going to meetings. I sit there thinking of more effective ways my minutes could be used. Then I start giving it to my legal pad. The others may think I’m writing copious notes or they may be too busy fabricating text themselves to notice. I make up grocery lists, to-do lists, budgets,word activities, write short stories and draw geometric images. Then I check the clock, make a comment and dig into writing again. Sometimes I even try to transcribe the dialogue in the room.

Meetings are such a waste of time. By the end, nothing has been accomplished, resolved or discovered. Why bother?
