You mean there are meetings that AREN’T like that? 🙂
commemorating your wife’s birthday with a boring meeting.
Thankfully we don’t read minutes before our meetings. We just post them for people to read.
I would think the point of meeting minutes is to bring people up to speed who weren’t present, or to catch up if the previous meeting was a long time ago. Reading minutes from last week in the meeting seems like the kind of thing people do to seem “professional” because they think it’s just the thing you do and couldn’t tell you the actual point of it if you asked.

Well, yeah, sometimes you should just light touchpaper and retire out the door… (And of course at dull ones one can always play computer games or make props, both of which I have done.)
