And people wonder why it takes so long for me to get any work done... This is probably the busiest week I've had, but it's fairly representative of a normal week for me. I spend so much of my time in meetings that there's precious little time to do anything productive outside of meetings. Then at least half that time is spent making sure other people are doing there jobs, doing other people's jobs for them, preparing for the next meeting, or following up on actions from the various meetings. So by the time all is said and done, I end up like Peter Gibbons, albeit for different reasons: "I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."
