In which the Editor chairs a meeting

Chairing meetings is generally a fairly thankless task, if one in which I have had a fair amount of practice over the years. I can't say I actually enjoy it, but I prefer it to being chaired by someone who considers an agenda to be a vague starting point for general, meandering, inconclusive discussions. Woe betide anyone who meanders under my jurisdiction! Of course, a lot depends on the character and intelligence of the people who attend a particular meeting.

Anyway, just for the record, I'd really rather never even sit in the same room again as the individual whose comments today included the following priceless gems:




"If you need anyone to take on management, you might want to know that I speak fluent Klingon."

"I need to stand closer to you. Then I can sniff it."*




I promise you I am not making this up.
