meetings....

ok, so.....i have spent the last 2 days in meetings....not every minute, but enough to say that the rest of each day was wasted on the parsing of the meeting to those who were not (required) to attend.....and there is nothing like a meeting to suck the life out of you....to take the hop out of your step and the lilt out of your voice...state govt doesn't appear to cater to optimists...or dietitians...one of the big-shots i met with yesterday made a point of identifying me as the dietitian....in a tone of voice that was near-to-but-not-quite-an-insult.......but as i see it, all will seem better tomorrow....
