:: Meeting Meeting Meeting ::

Hey all,

I remembered telling my good friend, Encik Penn a few years back, that I was looking forward to working in a proper office because I wanted to experience being in a meeting. A proper meeting.. The one with agenda, a chairman, a minute taker.. well, u know.. the whole nine yards..

He laughed at me.. He, who is also a country manager of an international company lives his life attending to meetings almost everyday, said that meetings are boring! It usually is an outlet for people to promote themselves and fish for acknowledgements, if not compliments.

The truth is, I wanted to experience meeting at that time was because it was something very foreign to me.. I never had the opportunity to attend a proper meeting with coffee and tea. (We were never called for a meeting when I was a stewardess).

Now that I'm an officially working in an office, I despise meetings! Especially those meetings that are not well organised. Those meeting without an agenda or where everyone wants to be the chairman, where everybody would talk at the same time and nobody would listen..

I had that kind of meeting just now.. The meeting started at 10 am and ended at 2++pm and we were only given coffee and tea.. I mentioned I was hungry a few times to the attendees but sadly there were no response. Until one of the kind lady in the meeting said I should just go if I cant take it.. (Thank God she understands!) 

Dont get me wrong.. I'm not trying to be a diva or anything like that.. I am just pregnant.. It maybe different for other pregnant ladies, but lately when I'm hungry, I'm really really hungry.. like extremely hungry with heart burn and headache.. 

Ideally, lunch should be served or at least kuih kuih.. coffee and tea just wouldnt be enough..

I had no choice but to leave the meeting to eat. I was already shaking at that time.. and of course furious!

Anyway, this just goes to show that the grass is always greener on the other side.. You always want something that you dont have.. What you have at the moment always seem insufficient.. Things that seems enjoyable and beautiful from afar may not be as good as you think..

So my friend, be careful what you ask for! 

I shouldnt have asked for to attend a lot of meetings!

Darn!
