in a meeting
I love how on IM or my phone system at work or my email I can set myself as being "in a meeting" to indicate I am not available at the moment. Man, if I really tagged my time to accurately show when I'm in a meeting, I'd be in a meeting 50+ hours each week!
Sheesh.
Enough with the meetings already!
I say this, of course, as I sit in a meeting, which started at 9:30 this morning and will continue (with breaks for sleeping at night) until Sunday at noon.
And of course, I am distracting myself now to blog. Just 'cause I can. Nyah!
I am sure I will be struck by lightening for this.

good question, leila. i dunno - i guess i find ways of occupying my mind if i get bored (which occasionally happens) but also because i have to take notes at all our meetings (because i'm serving as the secretary) it makes me pay attention. i tend to remember more if i write (or type) things while people talk.

Girl I must say you are seriously an inspiration! You can multi-task very well and by sitting in meetings most of your life at the moment tops the cake in my book! I can't even sit in our office meetings that only last for 2 hours at the most! I don't know how you do it but I guess that's why it's you doing it, huh?! I wonder if it is something you learn or something that just comes naturally? What are your thoughts?

it IS going to be fun. i already have one friend whose looking forward to it - she thought i was inviting her 'cause she's a massage therapist. hope it's okay that i reassured her that we just want her to ENJOY herself and participate, not to provide services to us.

sheesh is right, Delara. 50+ hours of talking and listening? maaaaan...
however, i believe your capacity to multi-task, to blog and meet at the same time is knocking out any potential for you to be struck by lightning.
love and miss you, my dear. can't wait for women's night, so i can see you!
