I had a meeting this morning, which is typically pointless. However, they actually followed the agenda and had some meaningful conversations.
I really loathe meetings.  They're usually so pointless.

i completely agree. though, i'm remote so i am never sitting in the same room as others so i can distract myself ;)

That must be nice . . . I'm in person.  However, I actually had a productive meeting this morning.  How novel that was!

lol. it kinda is. i moved about 3 hours south of my office a few years ago and since even at the office my work involves connecting to remote data centers it hasn't changed my job any.
