Breathe in, breathe out. I agree - nothing is as exhausting as Meetings! Especially if you’re keeping the minutes and can’t doze off :-).

"Especially if you’re keeping the minutes and can’t doze off "

And whatever you do, don't spill any milk on them.

Nobody likes milky minutes.

For this particular committee my years of sleepless service as secretary and chairman are over. *\:-) I am now free again to sleep if needed, though I am currently representing three organizations'/brands' issues (though only semi-officially for those other than my own) and that means maintaining at least a minimal level of alertness so I can charge into battle instantly if needed.

Fortunately that's really rare, though sometimes I have to nudge the committee into the "correct" path.

The meetings Friday through Sunday are of an ad-hoc working group called to evaluate future directions towards resolving a long-standing issue. It's even more exhausting work than usual, and occurring right before what is always a grueling quarterly week of meetings is Not A Good Thing.

Sounds like Anoreth had a fun day! I'm sure the youngest sionnsareen would have enjoyed same...

Keeping minutes isn’t that bad unless they turn into hours.
