Pet Peeve of the Week for Work, Part II

I didn't think it could get worse, but it did.

Weekly meeting. One hour. I usually either conference-call in, or miss. Today, I'm in a building nearly next door, so I head over. 2:00, no one is there. 2:05, still no one, and I'm about to page someone when I get paged — the meeting leader is conferencing in from his desk. So there I am, in a conference room for 20, alone, dialing into a conference call I could have joined from my desk. One other person came in (late), but everyone else was in their own respective offices. To improve on it all, the meeting ended up lasting only about 25 minutes. It probably took me longer to walk to my car, drive over, park, walk into the building, and find the conference room.

From now on I'm only joining by phone, too.
