Well, it's Wednesday. Wednesday is super-duper meeting day around these parts.
Often I have six meetings scheduled for Wednesday. Sometimes seven. Fo shizzle.*
See, lots of people telecommute Mondays and Fridays and I telecommute on Tuesdays, which either makes me very clever or the village idiot. Jury's still out. This means that five days of meetings get crammed into two days: Wednesday and Thursday. And, unless we got enough snow and ice from the storm to close work**, I'll be slammed with meetings all day long.
So, don't expect to find me all lighthearted and frolicy on Wednesdays.****
But I did post a new poll up there on the right. Because I'm committed, damn it, to you, the reader. *cue Wind Beneath My Wings* So, do me a solid***** and vote!
And tell the others--and there will be others--how, despite all odds, I bravely put forth the lamest Wednesday post ever.
For you. *makes eye contact*
You special reader, you. *flashes money shot before turning and running down the hall*
*from down the hall* 'Cause it's all about you! Don't ever forget that you're the most impor--Oh, hi, Betty! Love that outfit! Are you heading to the meeting, too?
* I can't pull that off. I'm lame.
** Fingers crossed as I write this on Tuesday.***
*** Fingers crossed mskes for a lot of typos.
**** What do you mean I'm never lighthearted and frolicy? Hmph. Like you're a box of FiddleFaddle.
***** I can't pull that off, either. Great. More awkward.

i voted. even though you broke eye contact with me
That would make me call in sick every Wednesday if I had that many meetings.
Six hours of meetings?? Have you learned how to sleep with your eyes open yet?
Oops, read that wrong, but still...six meetings in a day...
*flashes money shot before turning and running down the hall*
Dang you look good girl!
Oh and I voted...just for you
I'm so glad that I'm finally so unimportant in the work world that I never have meetings anymore.
But I DO wish they paid me more for that privilege.
Hrmph.
Telecommute?
You can go back in time?!?!
You can make thousands!
I had dreams all last night about whether or not I'd get a snowday.
The last one was a nightmare, that we did NOT.
Then I realized I was actually awake, and it was true.
POOP on Wednesdays.
Ahh one of the things I miss about going to work everyday.
Well gotta' get back to shoveling a little snow, take a break, blog a little, take a break, play in the snow with the dog, take a break, shovel a little snow, take a break. This schedule is killin' me.
Meetings. One thing I definitely do not miss about working for The Establishment. In my job and my company, there are no meetings. Unless you count adjourning at 5:00 for drinks with friends. I guess that could be a meeting...
You totally did not pull off that fo' shizzle - but only because nerdy white guys are the ones that actually say that. And jiggy.
Will Smith counts as a nerdy white guy.
Things like AWS and telecommuting have had a profound effect on the work week. I can imagine there might be a time when teleconferencing is all electronic and there is no need to ever take your PJs off. Personally I think things were better off workwise when people went in 5 days a week, just sayin'.
*I think they say fo shizz now.
or not.
Is it bad that I'm thinking about voting for all five options?
f.B: Never! And, thanks.
LBluca77: It's tempting.
Liebchen: Seems excessive, yes?
Fiona: Sweet, Fiona! And thanks!
Kate: All trade-offs to be sure.
Rs27: And my boss can chase me around the desk without hearing from HR.
LiLu: Poop, indeed.
Mike: You're killing me here.
D.C. Confidential: Those are the best meetings! See you soon!
Narm: Na-na-na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na-na. Gettin' jiggy with it...
Barbara: I may have to buy PJs when that comes to pass.
Matt: Got it! Thanks!
Sean: Not at all. That's why multiple answers are permissible. :)
I would NOT be able to deal with 6-7 meetings in one day. Oh, the AGONY...
Zandria: It definitely fries the brain.
