Seriously...why do we have them? Nothing is accomplished. In the age of email, why does anybody have to take time out of the workday for these contrived mini-conventions? Information can be relayed so much more efficiently and impersonally with email.
If I'm actually meeting with somebody, face-to-face, it needs to be for social reasons, to generate mirth and good times. In the workplace though, there's no point. It's an annoying waste of time.
Let's stop them.
On that note, I'm making a doughnut run...more later...

Jim, I love it! Keep posting, I think it's cathartic (and a hell of a lot cheaper than therapy). Missed you guys yesterday. The Valley sucks.

This reminds me- I think you owe me some mirth time.
