team meat

today's ridiculous 'team meeting' was the most blatant display of academic power plays that i have had to sit through, even worse than a school meeting. circus acts included team leaders making it look like they know what's going on, supervisors questioning their own students' work, and students obediently attending but looking glumly bored - if only i had a camera to capture the very unimpressed expressions of my fellow labrats! i couldn't help but giggle at the silliness of it all. maybe one day i might take it all seriously... but then again maybe not.
