Every week the Swedish diary is packed with meetings ? möten. Many meetings. Planned for this week are the following:
Ett informationsmöte ? a meeting to inform everybody why they are at the meeting.
Ett uppföljningsmöte ? a meeting to follow the last meeting.
Ett avstämningsmöte ? a meeting to check what people understood from the last meeting.
Ett förmöte ? a meeting to discuss the next meeting.
Ett planeringsmöte ? a meeting to plan a lot of other meetings.
Ett personalmöte ? a meeting to let the staff know they are at the meeting.
Ett idémöte ? a meeting to discuss creative ideas which could work if people weren?t always at meetings.
Ett telefonmöte ? a meeting to avoid a real meeting.
Ett frukostmöte ? a meeting at breakfast time as it won?t otherwise fit into today?s busy meeting schedule.
Ett lunchmöte ? a meeting at lunch time as it won?t fit otherwise fit into today?s busy meeting schedule.
Ett extrainsatt möte ? an extra meeting just in case they run out of other meetings.
Ett oplanerat möte ? a spontaneous, unscheduled meeting (just joking).
Ett krismöte ? a panic meeting to discuss why the coffee machine hasn?t been working for two days.
Ett inställt möte ? which means there is no meeting. Someone has cancelled it. And it?s too late to schedule another. (This empty hole in the diary makes life feel pretty meaningless).
