I don't mean to bleat...

Company results came out today, so a company meeting was scheduled. I say it was scheduled, but...
Originally the meeting was scheduled for Thursday, but someone thought it would be better to deliver results on a Friday afternoon. So we cancelled the venue we'd booked and sought one for the Friday. Then the CEO put his foot down and said company meetings shouldn't be on Friday afternoons, so we went back to the venue and tried to move it to the Thursday. They'd already booked it to someone else while we'd been changing our minds. Never mind, we'll hold a two-hour company meeting in an area of our office with 20 seats for 400 employees.
Ah, better book the seats then.
It's snowed, so loads of people haven't turned up, so we'll reschedule.
Which is a good job, because the CEO who wanted the meeting today and is presenting the company results had booked the day off work.
I think you're beginning to get an idea of some of my frustrations, particularly if you follow the work keyword for this entry.
Am I doing anything about this? Yes.
