SURVEY-"Me me meetings" cover for job interviews and da boingy boingy
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051118/od_nm/meetings_excuses_dc

LONDON (Reuters) - Employers be warned: UK workers who schedule Wednesday meetings are potentially going to a job interview and regular Friday afternoon meetings could be an excuse for a rendezvous with their lover.

A survey of 167 companies revealed a growing trend of so-called "me me meetings," out-of-office meetings used to cover a more personal encounter.

The poll, by Genesys Conferencing, showed 81 percent of office workers admitted arranging meetings to fit in with personal activities.

But the survey also showed Friday afternoons were the best for meeting lovers or to go shopping. Monday mornings were the most popular time for scheduling a meeting to mask looking after the children and Wednesdays were the preferred time for job interviews.

1. How lame am I? I *never* would have thought of that.
Being pathologically honest can be a drag sometimes.

8. Who will play at the parade?
The day the music dies, man.

Reminds me of a song... I feel a song coming on...

*Music starts in background*
