Work...not fun

So yesterday I went to work. Monday's typically are the worst, because I have lots of meetings. But yesterday was out of control on the meetings. I got to work at about 8:30am. Meeting at 9:00 with the London team...it lasted just over an hour. Meeting at 10:30...it lasted a half hour. Another meeting with the other managers at 11:00am...it ran long and got over at 12:45. So much for grabbing lunch. I had another meeting with a vendor scheduled for 1:00pm, so for lunch I got to wolf down some Sun Chips and a Sprite. The vendor shows up early so I made him wait while I licked the Sun Chip crumbs out of the bag. I then had a meeting at 2:00 with my team...it finishes at 2:30pm. Then I'm trying to work on some legal documentation, and my boss calls another meeting at 3:00pm....it last for an hour. Just in time for another meeting with the Engineering department...which finishes at 4:30pm. At 4:33pm, my boss calls wondering why I haven't sent him the revised legal documents yet...there's a long silent pause on my end of the phone...my boss smartly says "umm...why don't you just work on them tomorrow?"

Lemmings!

Well...here it is, my first blog. I've thought about it for a little while, but never figured I'd get around to it. But since everyone else seems to be blogging, I thought I'd simply follow the crowd. I doubt I'll keep it up very well, but every so often I'll put up some smart-alec comments. How do you spell smart-alec? smart alex? smartalic? I'm not sure where that term even came from but you hopefully get my drift.
