Nice to know meetings don't change
You should try meetings in academia. I regularly have meetings where the actual meeting is dealt with relatively quickly, but then the inevitable questions in the "Any other business" section take over 4 hours.
A ex-colleague and I tried to introduce the Just a Minute rules to any future meetings (1 minute to discuss each topic with no repetition, deviation or hesitation) on the grounds it would make the meeting far more productive, but we were told "No"'
Biting the hand that feeds IT
