Passion for Committees

When I'm not immersed in my latest novel (reading, not writing), my next favourite pastime is to read minutes of committees. A google search will find any number of examples online, from local councils or administrative offices around the globe, all caught up in their own exciting little worlds. And it's always a highlight to see an item like this:

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE AND OPERATION OF COMMITTEES

A Working Party has been established, with the support of the Director, to consider a range of issues associated with further improving the administrative efficiency and effectiveness of the committee system.  

This is the type of activity that office prisoners such as myself live for. Lazing at home on a Sunday arvo, only the thought of contributing to such a working party would motivate me to come to work early on a Monday. As a child with so many career options ahead, you'd never even contemplate you could make such a difference, but now, with the potential to streamline committee systems, just wow.
