There's no "Me" in Meeting

The business world gave me a salary and weekends off, I feel I owe it something back.  One day I will write my book, "There's no Me in Meeting: Inner Secrets of the Marketing Brotherhood".

It's been said that the Inuit people have two hundred words for snow.That's understandable, but the company I work for has two hundred words for meeting and I think that's more of an achievement.  Let me see now; Pre-meeting, Review Meeting, Debrief Meeting, Kick-off Meeting, Set-up Meeting, Executive Committee Meeting, Management Meeting, One-off Meeting, Sales & Operations Planning Meeting, Budget Meeting, Departmental Meeting, Inter-departmental Meeting, Supply Chain Meeting, Annual Sales Meeting, Steering Committee Meeting, Monday Morning Meeting ...

I'll stop.  I guess that was about two hundred, but to be honest I lost count.  Those meetings taught me a lot, namely, how to yawn privately without even flaring your nostrils.  That's what I feel like doing right now.
