So I was just in another long and boring meeting this morning that had nothing to do with me or my work. They should really rename this place from Panhandlers Central to Just Try to Do Your Work! Mwahahahaha!

Anyway, the woman who has been running the last few meetings has a hearing problem. Unfortunately, no one wants to be the asshole and suggest that she let someone else scribe for her. If she's not looking directly at you when you're speaking, she can't hear you. When there are 30 people in a meeting all talking at once, there's no way she's going to get everything and so a lot of information is lost and then when she passes out the minutes at the next long and boring meeting, then we all have to tell her what she missed. And then there are 30 people talking at once again. It's a vicious circle. And it makes these meetings unbearable.

I've begun to develop the skill of sleeping with my eyes open. Very handy.
