A meeting, after long... for long!

After a long period of time got to attend one of those pointless and endless meetings... I had almost forgotten what it was like sitting for one of those since I left the Provincial house!! This time it was with the Parish Priest and his council for planning the Parish feast which is on the first Sunday of February. The agenda was simple, at least to me: distribution of the responsibilities for the feast as per villages. But it went on and on and on and on...!! The PP was talking and so were all those present. And what were they talking about... of course, about the distribution of roles and responsibilities. But wait! The only thing which was not happening (and the only thing that should have happened) was the owning up of the different responsibilities. What should have taken no more than 15 mts for ten responsibilities devoured two and half hours!
