I know there are many professions, many jobs that exist with constant meetings. Some people have to attend several meetings a day. Fortunately as someone who’s always been in the creative area of companies, meetings aren’t the rule.

This meeting, for instance, droned on and on, often diving into and wallowing in minutiae. By the time we reached the 90 minute mark they almost ended the meeting without my presenting the work. Despite me sitting there, they forgot all about looking at the graphics! If they’d allowed me to present the work at the beginning, I could have done it, collected my laptop and left. Even after driving back home I could have gotten an extra hour of work done.

What a waste of time.
