For a lot of us, half of the working day is spent in meetings. Half of which are not worth having, and of those that are, half the time is wasted. Which means that nearly one eigth of business life is spent in small rooms with people you don't like, doing things that don't matter.
The only reason people have so many meetings is that they're the one time you can get away from your work, your phone and your business contacts.
You can judge how tedious meetings are by the doodles they generate. Anything that looks like the product of a drunk spider means you're probably in the worst of all meeting. These are so called because everyone tries to prove their status by talking very loudly about their own
