That sounds horrible! I hate committee meetings. You work your ass off just to have what you worked on rejected or ignored 90% of the time.

this meeting is formal, and I maybe say two words a month. <<boring>>>

you could always pretend to be listening and really just be writing poetry.

the saving grace of most committee mtgs is that pretending to pay attention is usually optional.

can take her computer, so when I type I look like I'm taking notes!

you can always plurk

to write poetry during meetings.
