Meetings

This has been the week for meetings. Conducting, scheduling and rescheduling. Who would have thought it could be so difficult to get a group of people together in one room at the same time? Or to set a phone conference and hear everyone say, "I can be available then." It was so much easier when we were kids. We'd go knock on our friend's door and say, "You want to go...?" and away we went--usually to find more friends to go wherever we were headed. Now that we're adults we have to check our schedule, our co-worker's schedule, our family's schedule, and, I swear, someone must have had to check with their neighbor, their dog, and their astrologist since it took nearly two weeks to finally schedule a meeting. Don't get me wrong, I love productive meetings. They're usually energizing and create more ideas, leads or generally positive outcomes. The ones that give me the biggest headaches are the ones that only produce the need for another meeting. Thankfully, my next meeting isn't until next week--someone remind me to check my horoscope over the weekend.
