Well, CAMRA wasn't too bad tonight. Fairly productive, albeit with the usual 3 discussions happening at once, and dragged on a bit.
What is it that makes meetings so boring? I suppose it all comes down to the average attention span. I recall being told my a lecturer at university that the average attention span is around 22 minutes. Have you ever known a meeting last less than 22 minutes? They are rare; and I've been to a lot of meetings! But at the same time, if you keep breaking up the meeting for a 5-minute break every 20-25 minutes, you disrupt the flow; especially if a lengthy discussion is required.
Is there an alternative or some method of making meetings seem more, dare I say it, fun? I'm sure whoever works it out will become a very rich b'stard!
Anyway, it is getting late, I have the joyous drive up the A1(M) to do in the morning to work. It's foggy and cold, so it'll probably bring out the idiots in the morning; but I'll save that rant for another night!
