Too many meetings (154/365)

Today's schedule:

9:00-9:30: meeting

9:30-10:00: meeting

10:00-10:30: blissful free half hour because the 9:30 meeting was scheduled for an hour and only took 30 minutes. Read emails that have come in since 9:00, write two sentences of minutes from last Monday's committee.

10:30-11:00: meeting

11:00-11:30: weekly team coffee

11:30-11:40: ten minutes free. Check emails.

11:40-11:55: pre-meeting for interviews

11:55-12:10: check emails before interviews start

12:10-14:25: interviews, which were due to finish at 13:40, giving me 20 minutes for lunch before 2pm meeting, but which, inevitably, overran.

14:25-14:50: meeting which was supposed to have been at 2pm

14:50-15:00: wolf down very late lunch

15:00-15:30: meeting

15:30-15:40: half hour free. Check email, eat cake, contemplate futility of existence

16:00-17:15: meeting

17:15: end of meetings. Consider collapsing in heap. Answer Teams queries from three members of team. Answer some emails. Manage to write minutes of two more items from last Monday's committee. Log off at 18:45. Splat.
