I miss my pointless meetings...
…sort of.
One of the weird things I am both so glad to be rid of, and actually kind of miss from my full time job is meetings.
Now before you all go calling me nuts for missing meetings, I fully acknowledge that most of us spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME in meetings — especially the inane meetings where nothing gets done and you talk in circles about the BIG HAIRY IDEA which is neither big, nor hairy but for the people making it so through their endless pontification on the subject. I definitely had full DAYS of meetings where I left wanting to ring someone’s neck for wasting my valuable time on some dumb new initiative that everyone in the room knew was never going to come to fruition…
But now that I work for myself, I have fewer meetings — which is GREAT. But also, strangely, terrible?
