Let's have a meeting....

[Matterhorn Fan]

Can we have the meeting after the diversity workshop in which we learn how not to offend clowns?

Don't forget the very imporant meeting you need to have with people who are in other meetings to plan meetings.

The meeting I was in this morning (thank goodness it's only quarterly) we actually have a "pre meeting" meeting for.

I wasn't kidding with my OP. We have a massive project that is supposed to roll out on Thursday. And we've been having meetings to schedule meetings about the meetings we are going to have meetings for!.. Today we needed to have a meeting but everyone else was in a meeting to plan a meeting.

OY, tomorrow is going to be a loooong day.

And we don't get food in our meetings

We usually have hospitality...bagels, coffee, whatever. But the past 4 meetings I was at have included a meal. Not to mention retreats & classes I've been to in the past week or so that have included food. I've been very well fed. But remember I work a lot of hours for a little money. Food is the least they can do.

And on todays schedule:

A meeting with the boss to discuss the meeting we need to have with tech that will discuss the meeting they need to have with the execs who will in turn have a meeting with us.

I would have resonded to this thread earlier, but it wasn't on my Outlook calander.

Something came up. Can we re-schedule?

[DisneyDaniel]

ALL of this thread is very amusing ... but too true! Last week, each department at my workplace had mini-meetings to decide on a day and time for the entire-office meeting that was held today. At the end of the big meeting, we were divided into smaller groups to schedule and conduct more mini-meetings next week, before everyone reports back at the all-staff meeting in two weeks!

Humm.. Maybe my office got wind of my posts... The rest of the meetings this week were productive! There were no meetings to plan meetings to plan the meetings. Unless those were the meetings last week. On Monday we are having a big meeting with the execs and I am sure there will be a meeting to plan the meeting.

YAY meetings!
