377 days - Blog #46. Board Meeetings or the blog you should open just to see fantastic Gilmore Girls clips

I would say a good half of my day was about a board meeting.  Indeed, there was a point in the afternoon where my boss said we were going to get really good at this sort of thing… that it would be knowledge with which she would like to equip me for my career beyond the Museum… defining the role of and learning how to navigate relationships with a board.

Goodie?

Yeah, I like meetings (board and committee type) as much as I like football.  Although, if I had my druthers, I would take a board meeting.  And… while I will complain to the point I want to stick a fork into the back of my hand about meetings, I think I hate them because underneath I really love what they have the potential to be.

A chance to solve problems.

This weekend my theater activity is not going to a play (although were my car saga solved at this point, that would not have been the case and I could be telling you my impression of a musical or farce instead of this ever so scintillating topic of governance).  Instead of sitting in the audience, I will be sitting at the table of a membership that makes every Gilmore Girls town meeting scene make complete and total sense.

Damn, I miss that show.

Anyway, I’m actually looking forward to this meeting.  

What???  Did I just say that?

Yes.  I did.

I think because of my job, the way I look at theater is much different… than even a year ago.  I see a much bigger picture and the necessity of all the moving parts… and how these board meetings can solve problems if utilized properly.

Anyway, no matter how excited one gets about board meetings, there really is no way to capture it in prose in a way that is anything beyond dull.  So, I’ll just leave you with another Gilmore Girls clip.  Because it was a damn good show.
