    Surviving Work

    (rules as they come to me)

    1. If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
    2. 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.
    3. Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

    Carolyn provided a link to Paul Anka's cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on her blog. Against my better judgment, I followed the link and watched/listened in utter horror. This is unbelievably disturbing.
