For me, I work until at least 6:00, sometimes later. It is sometimes
difficult for me to get there on time, or at least early enough to get
a seat. A couple of months ago, I had to sit in the middle without a
place to put my laptop. Yeah, it's called a laptop, but having it on a
table makes it a lot easier to take the meeting notes.
<br><br>Besides, there are many times where we don't have an agenda or
topic. Why should I drive downtown, fight traffic, construction,
parking, etc, for no topic? And for parking, I usually have to park in
a ramp, and if I do go for a beer, I need to be back
by 10 or else I have to have exact change to pay for parking. If I
don't have exact change, then I have to send the money in. It's just a
lot of cons to overcome. Having no topic isn't anybody's fault, it's
just if there isn't a reason to overcome the cons, why should I do it?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/14/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Dan Hockey</b> <<a href="mailto:icepuck2k@mchsi.com">icepuck2k@mchsi.com
