WildeRover Oct 2014 1:28pm, 30 Oct 2014 3,678 posts	Quote Pin WildeRover I run during my lunchtimes generally 3 times per week. Firstly it annoys me a bit when people book meetings across lunchtimes because 'people are available then'. I'm not! Look in my calendar, it tells you I'm not. Why is it that it is seen as OK for me to give up my lunchtimes when I am not due to be in the office - however, they wouldn't dream of booking something for 8am when I am here (get in early so that I have spare time lunchtime), because that would mean them getting their arses out of bed to be in the office at some point when they are not normally due to be here. I understand that sometimes it is unavoidable. But what really grinds my gears is when those meetings that are timed just so that it is impossible for me to fit a run in at lunchtime are at the last minute cancelled or postponed for an hour, because someone or something is running late. Because they are running late, I am not running at all! Yaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!! (You'll never guess what I've been doing with my lunchtime. I'll give you a clue - I wasn't running. And as it turned out, I wasn't in a meeting either - for the third time this week.)

On the same subject, Americans who think it is ok to book a meeting at 6pm on a Friday - go away and get a life. That'll be a NO, then. Meeting declined
