The noive of you, actually trying to do some WORK while at...work. You're supposed to just carry a clipboard, sigh a lot, and spend an inordinate amount of time in the loo, between meetings. Love it. Thanks for the chuckles.
(Though, truth be told... I used to LOVE meetings. Didn't have to be outside in the snow and rain, could doodle and mess about, make excellent comments, and they had some good snacks. I suppose one advantage of being a seasonal employee.)
If they had snacks in any of the meetings I went to then I would be a convert. What an amazing idea! I have suggested coffee but rarely get taken seriously because it would cost money, lol!!
Ha haa, I think you need to tell El Jeffe' (sp?) he's cheaper than a dime store pencil. Good lord, mon, how can he expect you to stay awake in a meeting, without coffee. (Though I've never actually had a cup myself, but that's what the SNACKS are for). And as a woods worker, EVERYONE had their own green and silver, Aladdin thermos. And it seemed like every one of them had a dent in it, from being run over by a truck or other piece of equipment in the road. I hope you can get at least some donuts for your next conference room marathon. All that sugar and fat helps you to fall asleep much faster.
