I hate:

1. Meetings
2. The term "action item"
3. The term "Lets talk offline" in meetings.
4. Multiple meetings that go on for hours each
5. More meetings
6. And more....

I got no meetings to go to or have any jargon to listen to. I just get spammed with hundreds of mudane network and computer problems.

Today is nothing but meetings for us.


we call them Torture Tuesdays.



At the end of the week we usually have 1-2 more meetings to prepare us for next weeks meetings.



What I realy hate is meetings that they have at 5pm, like today for instance.

I hate when action items are defined, but not who is responsible for them.

I also hate when people call a "meeting" just to see how everyone is doing and to tell people what a great job they are doing... ends up wasting my time. If I was doing a poor job, I'm sure I would know, or find myself laid-off. Since I am still employed I assume I am performing well.

If I wanted people to know how I was doing, I'd call a meeting at the local bar, buy the first couple of rounds and start my rant. If I'm doing well, I do this little thing called a smile. Just leave me alone so I can post on ATOT during what work I am suppose to do.
