Meetings

Hate 'em. Especially when they don't bring cookies. I had one of the latter sort this week: I arrived late, starving because I'd been in meetings all day long, none of which had had cookies, and noticed, once again, that this one, too, had no cookies. Thus this particular meeting sent me into an even deeper torpor usual. I dropped by bag, dumped stuff on the floor, had my cell phone go off in the middle of the thing, etc. It was bad.

But at least I didn't make THIS pointlessly time-lengthening remark: "It's a small part of the total consideration, which is to say it is not all there is to consider, but still, it is a small part of what we must consider."

One of my colleagues gets the credit for that one. Whew.
