Meeting Nonsense

Long time, no type. Today, I have the wonderful "priviledge" of spending my entire day in a meeting. Not just any meeting, but basically, the company is having everyone go through the training that the new hires go through since the new hire training has significantly improved to the point that even tenured people wanted to know what was in it.

I managed to sit at a table of die hard workaholics who are the most boring group of people I've had the misfortune of sitting with. I'm basically stuck in the middle of contract chatter and meeting scheduling chats. It's no wonder people feel so tired since they can never seem to turn it off and relax.

But of course, these are the same people who obsess over conference calls and the need to "talk it out" instead of allowing one to process their rapid fire and type it out in a concise and storable manner.

And to make it worse, we are only half way through it. At the very least, I can honestly say it is meeting my expectations. I expected to learn a thing or two that I didn't know, but figured that none of it would have any value in my day to day job.

So far, so good.
