People with an inflated sense of self importance...

[Elfster]

Oh god, don't get me onto meetings. The greatest time wasters of all.

Perhaps my initial whinge should not be related per se to people using these little wonders of technology (I quite like my iPhone, though not necessarily as a phone), but the growing lack of ettiquette or social awareness by their users (because they think they are so self-important...) can be quite annoying.

Now off to another pointless, work disrupting meeting....

A barrister with an iPhone versus a merchant wanker with a blackberry versus a stockbroker with an iPad. Who wins?

The biggest problem I find with about half the meetings I attend is that they are either un-necessary, too many un-necessary people are involved, or the person chairing will not keep it moving quickly and the meeting gets bogged down on trivial issues. Not saying it is an appropriate thing to get your phone out and start doing something else, just that there seems to be a developing mentality towards pointless meetings these days. I sometimes think people organise them to avoid actually getting anything done half the time.

Stoff, you have just described corporate France where we have a meeting to discuss the agendas of the last meeting and the next meeting, then break for a 3 hour lunch then go on strike, and achieve absolutely zip. It does my head in.

iPhones are for girls.
