Yeah, I had one of those yesterday afternoon. He'd ask a question and then interrupt and drone on before we could complete our answer.

I had one of those last week... After she ran the meeting for over an hour, and it wasn't even her meeting to begin with, I told her if she would just quit talking, listen and let people finish stating their thoughts she would be able to understand what was going on.

Shortly after I said that I thought... did those words actually come out of my mouth? Gulp!

The meeting was wrapped up shortly thereafter and the engineers are using my idea to fix the problem.

Good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else.

Spent all morning at Doctors and Dentists in McMinnville and Salem. Just got home for a little R&R and lunch. Then it is off for a grandsons birthday shopping trip, not sure how I got roped into that, and then to his birthday bash this afternoon/evening.

I opt out of every meeting except for the ones my boss (really great guy) calls for.
I do not care about:

Production schedules.
"Team building".
Inventory.
IT issues.

Call me when Safety and plant maint. becomes just as important.

A late good evening to all. Survived the grandsons birthday bash and his bowling alley party. I can't bowl yet, but I took plenty of pictures. Between my wife and some other adults who were in attendance, I should have some pretty good blackmail shots.

Same here a lot less traffic in the morning. The commute gets fun next week though with the closing of the 8th Street and Commercial intersection in Astoria.
