the wheels on the bus go round and round..

i don't like meetings where

1. it's a pre-meeting meeting.

2. we discuss the same exact issues, that we spent hours discussing in the previous meeting AND concluded.

3. i feel so obliged to give my honest views, but i have to keep my mouth shut.

4. it starts less than half an hour before lunch time or office hours ends.
