WASTING MY TIME
Today sucked, of course, because it was a work day. But it was a stroll in the park compared to Monday. Here's a typical Monday:
8:00 - Special meeting. Got in early. Delayed till 8:30. Nobody told anybody. Somebody owes me 30 minutes of my life.
9:30-10:30 - International Staff Meeting. I'm the impresario for this one. Fire up the troops. LET's GET THE BOOKIES! (what's THAT from?)
11:00-12:15 - Commercial sales call/meeting. I daydream through most of this one. I'm only the impresario during influenza pandemics.
3:45-4:45 - Advanced anti-trust training. Almost as exciting as basic anti-trust training was. I realize it's important, but it's drier than Bea Arthur at a Chippendale's show.
So I start my weeks on Tuesdays, a day behind, and significantly more than a dollar short.
