Get done with work at 5:00, you’ll make it to exactly 4 of 23 (17%) meetings on time . . . we are going backwards with this. I guess equity means nothing, and their report is hogwash. Yeah, I said hogwash. They seem to be trending the wrong way . . . Let’s pretend you can make it to a 4:30 meeting, sill would miss 7 of 23 meetings, 30%. Notice, when a neighborhood schedules a meeting, they are usually at 6:00 (See University Hill Farms)
