Just this last week, I had three meetings with a state entity that had us be there. 2.5 hours there, 4 hour (mostly useless) meeting, 2.5 hours back.

That was 9 hours of my life, not including the lack of will to do anything after that, for something that could have been summarized in probably two average Medium articles.

Madness.

(Ironically the meetings were regarding Digitalization and Green Energy)
