No mission statement? Egads! Horrors!
I once sat in an interminable staff meeting where we spent at least 45 minutes listening to a three or four people argue about the placement of no more than four words in a mission statement.
Now that I think about it, one purpose in life that I fulfilled by retiring was no more time wasting staff meetings.
Once when I was in a meeting like that this down to earth guy from the South got tired of people arguing over whether the mission statement should be "completely customize principle-centered vortals" or "principle focused vortals synergized by operational excellence" (or something like that). He just spoke up and said "It don't matter. Neither one means a dam* thing."
Yes, you are right. I, too, do have a purpose now. It is to never have to waste a minute of my life sitting through meetings like that again.
