How to be in three meetings in one evening!

Ten easy steps to three meetings, a free evening and a reputation for being the busiest person on earth!

1. Turn up at the first meeting.

2. Sit down and have someone ring your mobile a few minutes after you have arrived!

3, Answer telephone and then apologise (profusely) and tell those around you that you have to respond to a pastoral emergency, and as a result, you leave (looking concerned and a little hassled).

4. Telephone next meeting and tell them you've been held up over a pastoral emergency and are on your way.

5. Arrive and repeat step 2.

6. Now repeat step 3.

7. Now repeat step 4.

8. Arrive at next meeting.

9. Repeat step 2.

10. Repeat step 3. and,if final meeting, celebrate a good evening's work! (If not then return to step 7. until penultimate meeting is reached and then continue until step 10 and enjoy your well earned applause!).

Once you have reached the end of the meetings for the night (this also works during the day), the rest of the evening is yours and you will find yourself heralded as one of the most industrious, caring and busy people on the planet and better still, you can still make it home in time to watch . . . . .

(or get to your pint before it's got warm!).

I am sure that I know some people who use this!
