Meeting agenda and assorted paperwork

Today's meeting agenda was like a ransom note but lacking a weapon. The list of demands was long, but the list of assurances was short.

I know I'll never forget this moment. I tell myself that I'm keeping that e-mail forever because it's going in my book. The book I'll write about the Hotel (and some of my crazy coworkers) that will be called Is this a bad business case or reality? You decide (working title).  If that title isn't snappy enough, we'll get another.

Some of the agenda items were crazy:

1. First of all, when the boss asks each attendee for a meeting agenda item, it does not mean 10 from one person. (not kidding).  He/she is running the meeting, not you.

2. The need to define our "communication terms". Last time I checked, you had a company-provided cell phone, a desk phone, a laptop and a desktop PC. If you can't communicate with that, I don't know what to tell you.

3. Asking the boss for prizes. Don't you need an extra trinket for nurses' week? Maybe I'm just weird because I don't.

My assorted paperwork continues. Paperwork for the siblings, paperwork for this agency and my all encompassing travel paperwork that will probably get rejected on the first round.

I feel like a hamster in a wheel...stay tuned.
