    I just drop meetings that I don't consider as relevant, and have either my schedule or a Lotus Notes malfunction as pretext. The latter is hands down the single best feature of Lotus Notes.

    They should estimate how much would they screw up estimates. With such element of gambling they might like it. Might even learn to estimate close to realistic.

    I should use that question more often as well.

    Usually less than 10% of most long meetings are even relevant to me, and I am needed for even less of the meeting.

    Yeah, praise that sentence. Was my favorite back when I was employed.
