Meeting is Overrated
How many of you have :
- Go to a meeting and realise that you’re there for your ears and eyes only, and not your mouth.
- Go to a meeting and after a long brainstorming, resolves nothing.
- Go to a meeting and realize that the people that really understand the subjects are not invited.
Well, can I be blamed if I go late to a meeting and leave early? But, I’m not late, I’m living in soft time.
“soft time”, a term that has been coined to describe the thinking of a cell-phone user who calls at 8:20 to say he will be late for the 8:30 meeting, arrives at 8:45, and considers himself on time because he called ahead.
So, rubber-watch Indonesian out there, welcome to the “soft time” zone.

Hmm… even better:
Make a phone call at 9.00 and state that you’ll be late because of traffic jam while in fact you’re just woke up.

meeting…? panggilan pertama masi belon meninggalkan meja kerja… panggilan kedua mulai nyari buku agenda… panggilan ketiga mulai jalan ke ruang meeting…
kalo lagi ga blank ya ikut ngomong … kalo lagi blank ya bengong aja…

Soft time? Hmm… that’s a new term to me

I found myself attend the meeting just for ears and eyes for many times. Yeah, just like the point number one.
July 18th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I’m the one who said, “Meeting, what meeting?”
July 18th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Hahahah, tergantung meetingnya dimana pak :D, kalau client A bisa baru mulai meeting jam 10:00, client B bisa mulai meeting jam 11:00, client C bisa tiba-tiba mbatalin meeting padahal pemberitahuan sudah jelas berhari-hari sebelumnya.

Umm, I really wouldn’t wanna be the one organizing the meeting..

Buddy, soft time is so me! “Pak, aku masih di jalan nih. Mungkin telat 10 menit. Mahap ya, macet…”. kekekkek
