Does that mean you are pretending to be working? Hope your boss don't read this thread! When my boss would give his monthly talks I'd go into la la land and think about more important stuff but look like I was listening. I never missed nothing because his secretary would type everything in minutes and give everybody a copy. I almost got caught once tho when he said something serious and I was smiling.

Hope your boss does a good job of not messing up his talking points.

And Marcia, one of the nice things about having tenure is that if I feel like napping during a department meeting - even if the department head (she was my first office mate 22 years ago) is talking - I take a nap.

Yes, after I made sure he wasn't talking nonsense, I kind of tuned out. Then during the break I was talking about how another executive didn't use my points, and she was standing right behind me. Yikes. Anyway, we're going into lunch now...

Well, so the conference ends at 3:30 and I think I can sneak out and maybe grab a drink at the Willard (a point of reference for anyone who visits DC -- go to the Willard hotel; it's beautiful and historic -- every President has stayed there). But then my boss comes up and has me hold her purse and coat while she goes to the bathroom! So, of course we end up going back to the office together. Everyone else -- gone, offices empty, no lights on, probably out having drinks and dinner. And here I sit alone, working. LOL.

Claudia, I was wearing my black Steve Maddens today, and I definitely hope that executive didn't hear me. Yes, next time I need to keep busy chewing!

Left work and am now cozy and comfortable at Ceiba -- an elegant Latin American restaurant downtown. Very cool atmosphere! Cheers everyone.
