unTeamly

[cosmolinguist]

Literally two days' worth of my last three work days has been taken up with Teams meetings.

I counted it up, when my last one for the day finally finished a little after 4, it was literally one hour short of two full days.

Several of these meetings I had to chair, many others I had to meaningfully contribute to; there was at most one where I got to be room meat.

I am so tired.

I'm allegedly working for another hour but am hoping that I can hide from work for that long.

That's cruel and unusual punishment

Were you able to hide?

[cosmolinguist]

Mostly. :)

That's far too many meetings in too short a time to give them all appropriate attention. Blargh.

Teams is evil

(as well as its equivalents).

"room meat" is now my favorite gee, cosmolinguist is so good at making words dance of 2025.

It isn't original -- I got it from In the Loop, where an anxious junior minister is excited about being invited to an important meeting that he thinks will make him look good, only to find out afterwards that his contribution wasn't welcome and he was just there to help his "side" look good, he's told he's just "meat in the room," and he then says "I was room meat?!" It struck me as so funny, it's stuck in my head since then.
