So this may be the definition, but over the past 6 days I have attended for 8 meetings, and let me tell you boy can their purpose and usefulness differ from one to another.
Some meetings are effective, some not so much. Some you just have to put up with a lot of boo-pucky to get to the one or two effective points.
Now mind you that of these meetings two were for pleasure, one for my own volunteer work, and 4 were for my job itself. I had to miss a meeting in this time frame due to another meeting. (Sorry LCYAC Public Relations).
Yesterday alone I had three meetings and I am excited to report that all three were very effective and well worth my time. Will they all be? Probably not, but I can be hopeful.
Now you may be asking why I am writing about meetings. Well to be truthful it is because I get so irritated by people saying, "Are you ever in your office." To be honest I often ask myself the same thing. The answer is sometimes. Often I am not here because of a meeting somewhere, sometimes I am here but not available because I am meeting with someone in my office, and sometimes, yes I am taking some much needed time for my family due to time spent away like the past two nights! So for those of you that ask the question and think you are being funny, there is your answer, and no I am not trying to be funny, just truthful.
