Meetings...anyone else bored yet?

I call two major, mandatory, cannot refuse, if your name is on the invite your ass needs to be in the conference room meetings a year.  

That's not so many.  Once in the summer, once near end of year...it's not that intrusive to meet twice a year.

For four hours.  Okay, that's a lot...but it's not my fault.  This is how we, as a whole, decided to meet this part of the standard so they aren't so much my meetings as our collective meetings upon which we agreed.  I just set the agenda, run the meeting, hold people accountable for action items, and verify that the minutes are thorough.

And make sure someone remembers to order lunch.

But somehow these meetings got named after me.  Having a town or a street named after you is an honor - having the most teeth numbingly boring meetings of the year named after you is thinly veiled contempt.

I have 37 minutes to get myself into the frame of mind to appear alert for the next 4 hours.  All good vibes sent my way appreciated.

Did I mention this meeting is 4 hours?  I am going to fly through this agenda and we can end this in 3-3.5 if I can avoid the following.

      People on Reddit think Joy wasn't there, which is understandable since she went through something similar. Going to something like that would probably just bring all that pain back up.

      RE: number of c-sections - I've heard of women in Europe being told 2 only; my friend's parents argued that Americans do more and their doctor okayed four. Women in US 4 only. But have met women who have had 5 sections. Two women I know were told at their last c-section (3rd and 5th) that their uterus was at the point of rupture and advised them to not have any more pregnancies. My point is it's very individual and a doctors should consider individual circumstances.

      One sister could be a crime of opportunity, but 4 sisters and a babysitter presumably multiple times each is a preference. 

      And considering the age of the youngest sister at the time? Yeah, that's not a crime of opportunity.

      She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there.

      That could be concerning.

      Look I know kids do weird things as part of games, and maybe I've been reading JRod too much but my first thought was that they are hungry and hiding food for later.

      This I just don't get. Surely at least part of the point of it is storage? At the very least wouldn't you clean just to make sure you hadn't brought spiders or other insects in with you?? Betting at least part of the price difference was cleaning, restoring, polishing and insect-free guarantee!

      She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there. So maybe it was clean when it came home but then the food got in it? 

      Unclear. I guess I don't get why if you recorded that you wouldn't pause, wipe it out, and rerecord? I would be embarrassed by that.
