Client A was 25 minutes late.
Client B was totally uniformed about core issues directly related to her job responsibilities.
Client C actually dozed off at one point, mouth agape and head bobbing.
My banker colleague droned on for an hour about a rather straightforward topic that could have easily been addressed by sending a simple email.
Meanwhile, I pretended to set up a web demo on my laptop for a later portion of the meeting (the part where I hoped to wring some revenue out of the ordeal), but in reality I was responding to emails via remote access. Oh, and making notes about the absurdity of the situation so my blog post would be accurate.
Boondoggle indeed. Whatever, I'm home at 4 PM on a Friday.

What a waste of a day - gotta love Corporate America.
Hmm...some of this sounds like my relief society board meeting...I worked for a charity before having my daughter and I couldn't believe some of the pointless meetings they paid for when they could have used it to help people! but yea, probably not the main concern with corporate america.
Seriously? I would literally jump out of my skin if I had to endure that kind of a day. I suppose you can look at it positively though and realize that there is give and take in life, and getting home at 4pm is a substantial perk. Hopefully K got home at a decent hour as well.
The 14th Article of Faith: We believe in meetings.
Oh dear, that sounds so non-exciting! Your banker colleague must love listening to his/her voice all too much. I am guessing your colleague LOVES arranging and attending meetings. Yuk.
