I can’t believe another week is gone already. Time flies when I’m in the office. One thing that amazes me is how much work I can get done when other people aren’t there. If I (god forbid) come in early, or stay late, I get so much more work done then when I’m there.
It’s like other people don’t want you to get any work done. It’s frustrating. What’s most frustrating is the damn meetings we have all the time. I try to get the others to meet in places like the conference room, or our training room, where there are no phones or computers. But then you get the rise of complaints from those who “need” their computer to enter notes about the meeting. (We have a propriatery database system in which customer notes and status is kept). The problem is, those same people chat on their IM and answer phone calls during the meeting, slowing the meeting down and wasting my time. I hate that.
Last week I had a six hour meeting due to this and on top of that, the meeting had to be stopped and then started again the next day because we still were not finished. How productive is that?
Ugh, I even hate the word meeting right now. It sends shivers down my spine.

Just wait until you’re having meetings to plan meetings or having meetings to recap meetings. I do both of those routinely. It’s ridiculous!
GO DAWGS!!!!!

We already do that… I didn’t bring it up because it just further adds to my frustration.
