I hope this wont seem weird to formally announce this, but I decided tonight that if I am gonna attend any meeting, I am going to attend the whole meeting all the way through to its initially-slated / official ending-time, or I will just not attend. I decided it is just too disrespectful to others to hop in and out of meetings before they are slated to be finished, even if it is for other, equally pressing omni business (which has, in every case I can think of, been the only reason I have ever felt compelled to do so.)

Therefore I respectfully ask anyone that feels I personally need to step away to attend to something else or answer a query, or even wants a quick sidebar on somethin at a given merting, simply not ask but wait until the meeting is done - barring of course some sort of all-out emergency.

By the same token, if a meeting runs over its running time, I may have to leave that meeting at some point thereafter - and I sincerely hope that no one at that extended meeting will be offended if I do so at that point -

I encourage others to try this model with me, which I probably should have been following all along. Honestly, I am really not the best multitasker in the world (as I am sure this is already readily apparent to everyone anyhow), so I dont know why I tried to attempt otherwise.

I hope this doesn't seem narcissistic or anything to announce publicly - as if its sooo important somehow - but I just want to make sure moving forward, that no one is offended if I have to defer talking to em (or otherwise engage with another matter) right away whilst I am still in a meeting, or have to leave a meeting that is running over.
