Graaagh!
Timewasting pointlessness! Tight deadlines making me (more) stressed (and other, far more important stuff also on my mind) so I don't need to be dragged into possibly the least constructive, most timewasting meeting ever for a project I'm only peripherally involved in. I know I'll be using the project later on and I'm the team's "user path design" person, but there was no reason for that meeting. It only existed because my manager had nothing better to do so wanted to have a meeting about something. We're not at any milestones, the project's not having problems, we're on schedule and meeting objectives, everybody's fully informed about where the project is... why the hell did we need a meeting? I could have spent that time working on a project where I'm scheduling down to the nearest 10 minutes because the time is so tight (I'm also the team's POOMA engineer and get all the last minute panic jobs).
