   I’ve been the HR coordinator here for 1 year and 1 month as of today. I have NEVER been invited to a formal meeting. Should I be dismayed at my lack of importance, or grateful for avoiding the boredom?

   Meetings are God’s way of punishing us for homosexuality — at least that’s what Jerry Falwell told me.

   Also, I heard Pat Robertson say that Monday meetings are America’s penance for MTV and rap music.

   @Perrik I think you’re due for a promotion at this point. Don’t worry, you’ll be in meetings soon enough.

   @Bryan I heard Robert Shuller say that meetings caused 9/11.

   I thought casual dress at the office was the cause for 9/11. Or was it the cause of moral decay among our youth? I get those mixed up.

   New strategy for work - instead of seeking a new job, I’m going to expand the existing one. Lots of great ideas. And potentially lots of meetings. Hey, it beats doing payroll.

   PERRIK YOU ARE SO AWESOME. (PS - Expanding an existing job is overrated and you may be able to make a bigger jump in responsibilities and pay if you leave. Or you can expand this existing job while you look for another job. Kill two birds with one stone: gain experience and then leave the employer who gave you that experience. That’s evil & I love it.)

   “Or you can expand this existing job while you look for another job.”

   Shhhh! Don’t tell them!

   I hate them. I won’t tell them at all.
