I haven't been in a meeting in years. All I remember is doodling and sipping coffee.

I sometimes have to forgo a day earning in the studio in order get on a train to London, fight through the crowds at Victoria station, get on the underground across town, walk around getting lost and sweaty for half an hour with a too heavy portfolio, climb up too many stairs to sit for forty minutes in a reception area, just so I can go into a room with 'the creative team' and listen to them say "Yeah, I mean.. basically its just like what we said in the email. We've printed out the pdf we sent you and you can take that with you...erm, yeah, so... basically yeah, have fun with it... we want it to be what you would do, not what we tell you to do, so, yeah, okay, coooool, well thanks for coming in" and it takes ten minutes, and then I have to do my journey in reverse and when I get back to my desk at the end fo the day I check my email and there's always one waiting for me from the more verbal of the two 'creatives' asking how I'm getting on and reminding me (for the first time ever) that they need to present it in a meeting at 9.00am despite it having a three week deadline.
Meetings. Fuck Off.

absolutely, meetings are always billed.

^ Yes and no. I get commissioned on a fee that covers everything so I build cost in for that. The point is though that I could still have spent the day working on something else. It doesn't happen too much anyway. Maybe once a year.

I always wanted to have a meeting and instead of donuts and coffee I would offer BBQ ribs and leave one napkin in the middle of the table.

Meeting are for airtalkers. People (producers and supervisors) that say "we need to improve radically! let's go red boys! let's meet that bastard in the hallway and shag his girlfriend!" after which everybody looks at everybody and agrees silently that Bob is an idiot.
