I know I am the last person in the World who should talk about professionalism – and I appreciate what I’m about to write about highlights my absolute lack of it – but there’s one thing I hate and it’s meetings.
More specifically, meetings about meetings.
For reasons I won’t bore you with, I’ve found myself increasingly getting into these positions over the past few years and while I quickly extract myself from them, I have got myself some notepads that ensure – in the short time I am there to ascertain if I should be there – I can feel some sense of quiet retaliation for being in the position in the first place.
It’s not big. It’s not clever. But it’s a nice feeling.

Comment by andy@cynic March 12, 2019 @ 3:15 pmI wish I had the “punch in the face” book when I worked with you. I’d also add one that said “please shut up”.

If I was to tell you the conversations we had about you, you’d consider yourself fortunate to just have passive aggressive notebooks hurled in your direction. Ha.
