I swear if I have to sit through one more meeting where I have to listen to a bunch of PHDs argue, I’m gonna shove their M up their N SIDEWAYS…
3 1/2 hours into a 2 hour meeting, with absolutely NOTHING accomplished, and thankfully the meeting finally broke up. I really wonder if these people have lives???
In other news, this one reminds me of certain of my friends out there, and I just don’t “know” why… 🙂
I’m gonna go have a good Scotch and call it a wasted day…
Today was ‘The Wednesday Morning Meeting’.
Three hours of… not being productive.
Not even coffee.
I had a productive day, even burka-free! 😀
Sorry you had a crappy day. PhD should stand for Pain in Hiney/Derriere. >.<
PHD I would like have a scotch with is Brigid.
Hugs for the annoying day. And to cheer you up – I have something for you. MSG me your mailing addy ( paxford AT gmail DOT com ).

Cateach- No coffee=no meeting…
Snigs- Yep!!!
Skip- Yep, at least SHE can carry on an intelligent conversation!
Pax- Will do!
Try listening to analyst argue over the wording of an intel report.
Two hours of bickering over “little person” “dwarf” “midget” or “diminutive” when the problem was the weapon the bastard was using.
🙁 Hate meetings like that!
The definition of a meeting is a gathering where the minutes are kept and they hours are lost.
Hope they at least provided an intermission for a potty break! That is a LONG meeting!
Even worse when it’s on a phone.
I keep getting in trouble because I tend to put the phone on speaker, mute my end, then get distracted and wander off.
Stretch- I can believe it… PCism and all… 🙁
Julie- Yep!
BP- Oh yeah!!!
Joey- Nope 🙁 (gurgle)
MSgt- That works until they ask you a question…LOL
Meetings: Slacker’s camouflage.
NFO,
If you’re having a good scotch, it is definitely not a wasted day! 🙂
Thank you Johnny Walker!

I have been working with MD’s who have PHd’s. They have no field experiance but they don’t let that get in their way in writing CONOPS.
Have a drink on me.

Heh. Wednesday was an 8 hour meeting with 16 people, scheduled to start half an hour after my day started… except it was originally scheduled to be a four hour meeting, two hour break, then another meeting for an hour. But things ran a little long, and HR wanted to address a few issues that had come up, and…
And then there were the side meetings during the official breaks, and the meeting after the meeting…
It was a pain in the powerpoint!
Navy91 beat me to it. I’d take good whiskey or rum, for that matter…

Second attempt: I see your avatar that looks like a Lockheed Electra tricked out with what appears to be a MAD boom aft of the empenegge. I was in ASW squadron VP-18 back before the Electra when we were drving the Lockheed Neptune.
Do we have a common history here in trying our best to interfere with the submarine operations of the Soviet Union?
