This has been my work day

"Nothing is ever really buried in a meeting. An idea may look dead, but it will always reappear at another meeting later on. If you have ever seen the movie Night of the Living Dead, you have a rough idea how modern corporations and organizations operate, with projects and proposals that everybody thought were killed constantly rising from their graves to stagger back into meetings and eat the brains of the living."
— Dave Barry, Claw Your Way to the Top (1986) [http://wist.info/barry-dave/1201/]

I have been in a series of weekly meetings for the past two months to help my IT organization define Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) codes for our overhead work. And I swear to God, every time it looks like we're getting close to dragging ourselves out of the zombie pit of bad ideas, someone chimes in to drag us back in.

And if we seem to have made at least some progress by the end of the meeting, then someone will have consulted with a different party between meetings and revised the document in some new, fresh, challenging way.

And once we're all done (if we're ever done), then we end up submitting it to executive management, who will no doubt (a) want something very different, (b) rehash every discussion we've had to date, or (c) stay silent until the policy is actually deployed.

As someone else once said, "I can only conclude that I’m paying off karma at a vastly accelerated rate."
