This is what I’m doing today.
Sitting in a meeting.
This is how I know the fall semester is starting soon.
So there’s no blog today. I can’t even think of a topic to blog about. Well, except for the fact that I’m Facebook-ing and texting when I probably should be listening and taking notes.
But I’m looking around — and I’m not alone.
One of my colleagues is doodling (old school) and the other is texting under the table.
I’m in good company.
So look for something a little later. I’m toying with some ideas on either a controversial French lingerie line for little girls or the latest trend of violent flash mobs.
But if you’ve got something more interesting, let me know. I’m just sitting here. I need distractions.

Have us on!
LOL… you should watch Michael Palin’s ‘Meetings Bloody Meetings.’
At first I read just “Palin” and I thought it was a parody of sitting through a meeting led by Sarah Palin.
No indeed, it is a parody of sitting through meetings done by one of the founders of Monte Python. and it is very funny!
Hey Cat: … haha!!! … what you’re doing is a blog topic! … “Paying attention in class or at meetings – whose responsibility is it?” …
… I presume the meeting is for your benefit … is it??? … if not, then why are you there??? … is it mandatory??? … if so, then the instructor / meeting leader should make sure everyone is paying attention … cell phones, ipads, tablets, laptops off …
… but I’d be doing the exact same thing …
… my mind always wanders … and I’m easily distracted …
It wasn’t a boring meeting — but it was a long meeting. And I had a lot of…. uh… other things to do. 🙂
The cuz understands alll too well the situation you are finding yourself in right now…. I was in an orientation session once for a new job and I was doing the same exact thing that you are right now. Due to the immense boredom from the sessions, and the fact that the company was total BS, I ended up turning down the job and staying where I was. The best part is I find out later that one of the people sitting next to me saw that I was not paying attention the whole day and actually told what was to be my boss.
I really dont know where this story is going, but think of it this way you just killed a couple of minutes reading this instead of paying attention.
Sorry I didnt have more for you, Good Luck Cat!
Yikes. I guess you never know who you’re sitting next to!
Wow… we have the “exact” same MacBook Pro! I knew you were a cool Cat, LOL!
FWIW, the lingerie for little girls sounds like kind of a creepy concept… I’d go with the other one. That could actually net some useful information for staying safe at events.
I think I’ll go with the French lingerie story, too. It’s bizarre.
you could think about all the chemicals and crappola that are in diet coke.Anything diet or lite for that matter. And those sugar substittues are …..well….are just plain nasty. I read the label of strawberry preserves once-strawberries,pectin,sugar,and that controversial high fruit corn syrup stuff.Basically 4 ingredients. Some just had the main ingredient-strawberries and sugar. Now, for the diet…or lite as it were, had the whole label filled with ingredients! hundreds! outrageous! There, that should distract you.
I know… A friend of mine saw that I was drinking Diet Coke and sent me a list of reasons why I should stop drinking it, like, now.
