An Interesting Choice . . .

. . . A certain manager of mine walked into my cube @ exactly 12:56 pm. I asked him which 1 o'clock meeting he'd be attending - the Project meeting, or the Status meeting. "I thought they were the same meeting" came the (predictable) response. I can see how that could happen, what with them being scheduled by different people, in different rooms, with different subjects, and different agendas attached. But I digress. My favorite part, though, was the fact that I, the lowly, entry-level engineer, was sent to the Project meeting to discuss costing and timelines and financials, the meeting which was preceded by a stern e-mail from the Project Manager explaining that this was a high-profile, all hands on deck sort of thing, while he, the highly-compensated manager, went to the bi-weekly, recurring, status meeting where the operational staff discusses how many user acccounts were migrated and what restores have been done lately.
