    There is a reason there is not a guest chair in my office.

    Meetings: let’s talk about useless ideas for a half hour and then wrap it up with 15 minutes of what we will talk about next week.

    I could not do that as they were nesting between the exterior wall and a decorative sign that my wife had by the front door. The sign has been removed now that the yellow jackets have been executed with poison.

    Death by meetings, it is a cultural problem for leadership on down; meetings to prep for the meeting that plans the meeting you want to have with everyone who spends more time in meetings than actually working.

    I have walked out of meetings when the information that was pertinent was said, leaving the pointless part.

    Well I almost made it a year without it but this past weekend hanging a stand for someone else I got poison ivy... All three arms (right left and baby). Man I hate it. I thought I washed well enough but nope.

    Set expectation in the first meeting; after that it's just 30 minute progress reports.
    Didn't grandpa tell ya not to pee in the woods?

    @Fix go buy a gallon of white vinegar and take a soak in warm water tub with it for a half hour. Pour it in the water don't drink it! :evilgrin:

    Yo have about 20 minutes to get it off. When I trout fished, I waded through poison ivy but wading rinsed all the bad oil off.

    I think ivyrest is a pretty good product, if you can find it.

    I’d also trade poison ivy for the chiggers I’ll enviably find this season…
