stupidest

Today was the stupidest faculty meeting in the history of faculty meetings. It was a book share about Failure Is Not An Option which isn't the most inspiring book I've ever read in a professional setting. Ok, it's the worst book I've read in a professional setting. Most of the people in my reading group hadn't bothered to read it. The few who had didn't want to answer the three guiding questions.

I really hate pointless meetings. I hate when we jump on the bandwagon of some new and wondrous idea. Seems like we add something new but we never follow through. I don't remember seeing any single thing through, really. We try all kinds of good ideas but... they peter out for a variety of reasons--usually something else takes its place. It would be a real treat to take something off the plate sometime. That was actually the "next step" that my group came up with.

I hate when we brainstorm and report out and cull and blah de blah de blah. So we read. We discussed. What's supposed to be next? There isn't any kind of direction to this whole process. Seems like success isn't an option.
