How germy are your attendees?

According to The Donald (Trump, that is), if you organize a convention for teachers, keep the sanitizing hand swipes handy. According to this post on the Trump Blog, teachers have the germiest hands, followed by bankers and accountants. Lawyers are the least germy, at least in their office setting, he says. Not surprisingly, he also warns that first-floor elevator buttons are pretty disgusting, probably up there with the remote controls in hotel rooms. Just keep on washing those hands and you should be OK, even at a teacher convention (as long as they left all those germy kids who contaminated them at school).

Signing off on my PSA for today…

Why Joan hates meetings

Meetings consultant/expert/listserv mistress/all-around maven Joan Eisenstodt hates meetings—for all the same reasons I do. She’s going to be taking on the latest round on VNU’s MiGurus blog this week, talking about how we can make meetings better. I’ve been following this series since it started, and it’s been all-around excellent, from a week of career tips to the recent AV and tech issues, and everything in between. I highly recommend it, and am greatly looking forward to Joan’s contributions to a subject near and dear to my heart, and I would suspect, yours as well. Plus, she says we can play with toys while we read!
