Stupid Coworkers at Stupid Meetings

Two hour meeting...

That is a TWO HOUR MEETING that was SUPPOSED to be a ONE HOUR MEETING.

Ugh.

Did I ever mention that I can make the EXACT same decision that my coworkers make in 1/40th of the time? I must be super efficient!! They should pay me 40-times as much--heck even two times would be nice. Meh.

So, we spent about 40 minutes (allotted 20 minutes) discussing the timing--when the brochure was going to be mailed and how long the sale was going to run. I had decided, while designing the piece, that the sale should run from mid-January to the end of February. After 40 minutes of running around in circles, they decided it should run from Jan. 15th to Feb 28th. Riiiight.

THEN! After an hour of sitting through my coworkers literally BASHING my previous year's brochure, we were drawn into an impromptu meeting for another design.

In THAT meeting, I had to sit for an hour listening to how they wanted the focus to be on the coupon, when it was previously on our Partnership program. Finally at the end of the meeting, the CEO spoke up and said that the brochure's focus should be on the Partnership, not the coupon.

OF COURSE they all agreed.

Bastards.
