Don't worry! He's already responded to that in this post or comments or somewhere. He claims that there's a difference between an office and a school environment, and he wouldn't dare use his cellphone to text in a meeting at work!

Because, of course, there's nothing at all similar to the two things, and the main reasons against texting at work are totally different from those against texting in class.

	It's my experience that people who are entitled assholes in college are the same entitled assholes in the workplace, but YMMV. These are also the same people that I long to take drinking in a rough part of town so as to witness a beatdown. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Heh. Oddly enough, at my office, he'd be the only one not texting or taking calls during meetings. It goes on constantly. Sometimes we have people attending one meeting in person, and listening into a conference call of another meeting.

It used to bother me a lot, but most of us have gotten used to it, unless the person is being really obnoxious about it.

So, if this dude can multi-task paying attention to the professor and texting, he's learning an important business skill!

	Or as the demotivation has it, "Meetings: because all of us together are stupider than any of us separately." Since my husband got a Blackberry he uses required large-group meetings to answer email, do remote checks on his servers, and work through the easier bits of his help-desk queue. It at least gets something useful done (Reply to this)(Parent)
