			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>So I&#8217;ve noticed that I have spoken about pop culture in about a week. </strong> There will be a new music Friday this week but it seems I&#8217;ve been on this work kinda kick lately. Maybe its the added responsibility. I dont know. Its just where I am right now.</p>
<p>So yesterday. I was asked about a week ago to come to a meeting and pitch along with others some ideas for a new project we are working. With this being part of my job I gladly accepted.  That was about the end of me thinking about it. We had a follow up email to ask about what time. I gave what time I could attend and said meeting was even reschedule to accommodate me.  That was my second opportunity to engage.  There were follow up emails giving instructions. I once again did not read. Then came the day of the meeting. When we are talking about lesson ideas I sometimes like trying to think up with those right before the meeting.  This though is different. You have to search and look and dream. I blew it and it showed.  Never throw that kinda stuff together.  This goes back to how a meeting should be run.  From the moment I started talking I knew I was in trouble especially when you see people who had thought about it working. I suck. Because of my guilt I bought the staff breakfast.  A kind of hey please like me and because they are pretty awesome . They continue to take up my slack.  I have a list for being ready for a meeting.</p>
<p>1. Read all correspondence</p>
<p>2. Prepare to prepare for a meeting</p>
<p>3. Know when you can&#8217;t contribute.</p>
<p>4. Don&#8217;t be afraid to say you are not ready.</p>
<p>5. You are to be a help not a hindrence</p>
<p>6. Don&#8217;t be stupid.</p>
<p>Peace</p>
