I hardly attended any meeting . . . . really. ;-)


FFFfffff! Sounds eupomistically a lot like "meeting engineer" to me! :-)

>That's the point! They DIDN'T get things done - they just talked about them - hence "now defunct".
>I once worked for a large bank that had a "working party" to decide, among others, which WP the bank would addopt as "corporate". At the time I had a version of IBM's DW4 (or some such), which didn't have the facility of creating indexes or TOC's. The document I was working on desperately needed these, which, while waiting, I had to do manually. It took me sevaral weeks and cost more, in my time, than it would have to purchase, say, Word, even temporarily till they decided. I FEAR meeting engineers.

>I once had a girl friend who was an OT at a hospital. She hated the ward meetings. One dragged on for hours and at the end still hadn't resolved its sole purpose - where to store unused wheelchairs.

>>This your own work or copied from an amusing article? So true. Reminds me of when I was working for Link-Miles (the simulator people - now defunct), and this harks back to the discussion on job titles a few weeks ago: There was a (worst misnomer in the English language) "working group" who's job it was to meet several times a week in a glass-panneled room, and none of us were ever privy to their proceedings. As we were all titled hardware- or software-engineers, this group got to be disparagingly referred to as "meeting engineers"
