Sometimes they can be really productive and fun, on other days they are a torture rack. My favorite is get interested. I've had days that I felt like pulling out a leg hair every few minutes to keep myself awake, but the best way to stay alert is to get interested. Ask questions and give feedback and you become a part of the game instead of some sidelined scrub. Great post! Meetings are such a tricky animal.

Raymonds - I know what you mean. Some of those office meetings really are so pointless. But, if you look for something meaningful and useful in the situation you will find it. Thanks for the comments you guys. TDM Mary – it really does work.

Love it! I think that getting interested in the meeting is a good idea but not realistic. I really cannot see myself getting interested in occupational safety when I sit at a computer. I mean, nothing heavy is going to fall on me - I don't care how many accident reports i have to fill out. Raymonds Found this post on Digg. Love it!
