Who else has been in this meeting?

Oh yes, that does remind me of a few I have attended!

Before retirement, I worked for a government department. We had meetings and training courses almost daily (including one to teach the higher grades how to speak to the lower grades ) Some bright spark put a notice on the notice board which read something along the lines of 'Bored? Nothing to do? Why not hold a meeting? It can be about anything at all - you'll think of something. In fact why not hold a pre meeting to discuss what to have the meeting about'

DH says he was in that very meeting yesterday Nonnie ! and KatyKhe often attends meetings about meetings about meetings about.................

gilly - it is ridiculous.

Oh, yes, I've been in that meeting!

Reminds me of certain school governors' meetings or political party meetings - but not the ones I chaired. I was pretty good at cutting the c**p.

It reminds me of the Emperors new clothes. They all know she is talking crap but none (except one) have the guts to say so.

one advantage of working for yourself!

KatyK I have a copy of the notice you talked about

Are you lonely?
Work on your own?
Hate having to make decisions?
Rather talk about it than do it?

HOLD A MEETING

You can ..
get to see other people,
sleep in peace,
offload decisions,
learn to write meaningless rhetoric,
feel important and impress (or bore) your colleagues.
AND ALL IN WORK TIME

MEETINGS - the practical alternative to work.
