Surviving Work
(rules as they come to me)
- If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
- If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
- Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.
