If nobody came to my meeting, I don't have to do any sort of minutes, even though I sent an agenda, right?
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Make some stuff up, make everyone who didn't show all nervous about what they missed. That'll teach 'em to blow off your meetings.
I didn't even notice the texting breasts.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sparky, thanks for that link. Very informative and an excellent refresher.

Okay, I think everything is set up with the new house. Water, sewer, electricity, phone, internet. Carpet installers, house cleaners. And then packers and movers here.

This is your time to assign the crappy work to people who did not attend.
Go Dana!
I slept for 12 hours last night, and I feel like I can actually stand up straight today! Although my masseuse said not to spend all my time lying down, it is how I am really the most comfortable.

Our wings are not tired.
Woo Dana!

This! As Berke Breathed once suggested, this is how you get Vice Presidents and wasp nest removers.

That's a lot of adulting Dana! Gold star!
I feel much better than yesterday, thankfully. Even made it to my coworking space. And it's Friday!
Though there's this urgent training we need some folks to do...and they're doctors so it's like pulling teeth...and I've just been informed they can ONLY do they training in Internet Explorer. Wtf. Whose brilliant idea was that???

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Thanks for that link, Sparky. Immediately re-shared.

Ugh. One thing I don't miss from my previous job was trying to convince doctors to do anything. Couple that with forced IE-usage (anything in this day and age that will only work with IE sets my teeth on edge) and you have my utmost sympathy.

Agreed. It's one thing if the person declined the meeting because of a legitimate conflict, but accepting and then not showing up is volunteering for the crap work.

We have sort of the opposite problem. In the hospital, computers only have IE and people do not have rights to install anything. Clinicians who are also professors have problems using our learning management system because it doesn't work in IE very well. But they can't get Firefox, Safari or Chrome installed.
