Another F'ing meeting

Another day, another aiport, another meeting...

I'm in Dallas til Friday... Went to the airport at 6:15am-have to be in Dallas by 11:30am, and of course, I left my wallet at home.

Drove back, rebooked a new flight for 9am en route to home, then called my boss, got back to the aiport, stood in a 45 minute line, go on the plane, sat on the runway for over a half an hour... get off the plane in Dallas at 1:45pm... message from boss: "Mtg starts at 330. No worries."

Kerry is now by herself again for four days. She did get free tix to Rod Stewart tonight, and is going with her friend Jeri-so I guess that's a reprieve. I get back on Friday afternoon... but she'll be on her way to Mexico for a bachelorette party weekend...

The point is this... meetings accomplish very little if anything in todays technological world. All the warmed up chicken and harsh coffee in the world is not going to make me like role-playing and powerpoint presentations...

I hear ya. I wrote this last week, but waited until I was home to post it... Should have read my eval og the meeting... kind of weird that the whole company has WEBEX and such on all their laptops, but everyone still prefers flying in and sitting around.
