I have to attend a regional safety meeting the first Friday of each month. Since I've been here, there have been two that I related to or understood and that is because the topics were relavent to the industry I used to work in and I was familiar with what was being presented.
This past Friday was a real snoozer but since I was sitting next to the highest ranking person in our department, I made a point to be somewhat alert (I mostly picked at the clear nail polish I needed to take off my nails). I did fall asleep in one meeting it was so bad.
I wouldn't mind the meetings so much if the topics weren't so far over my head. They are relevant to safety but the processes they discuss mean nothing to me because they are more plant/industry specific while my area is on the very fringe of it all.
