Ritalin for work meeting. Feeling good. Meeting dynamics
 

I showed up for the second meeting in one week twenty minutes late.

I got there and sat near-ish the front talking and laughing with the guy
I was sitting with. One other friend sitting nearby "hushed" me because I
was making too much noise. I wrote my seat-mate notes instead.

In the context of the meeting, I argued with someone who deserved it and
argued with someone else in order to back-up my boss who thanked me
later.

At my work place we often replay with each other what happened in the meeting/s:


1. Hubby said a few people did not like/disagreed with my outspoken-ness. He keeps a very low profile. So he and I always disagree on these things.
2. Work buddy agreed with me but warned me against my having volunteered for a committee.
I told him I would only do the committee under certain conditions.
3. My immediate boss thanked me afterwards for sticking up for her point.
4. The new-ish big big boss running the meeting said afterwards than she finally learned my name (because I kept speaking up and raising my hand in useful ways). (I guess she finally attached my face to my name).
5. I called my Dad later for advice. He felt I was in complete range of normal decision making.

Mari, it sounds to me that you did everything right at the meeting.

Good job :D!

wow!
look at you.
how do you feel about it?

Not everyone is going to agree with you, like what you say, or how you say it 100% of the time. What impresses me is that you were so engaging and obviously on top of your game. It sounds like a great meeting, and a great day… more of those for Mari please :):):)
