Group comments about this subject made me recall a meeting when a consultant
from the State Department of Education announced that we needed to "work
smarter, not harder." (The first time I ever heard the expression.)

Under the table the vice-principal stamped his foot on top of mine and
gripped my wrist like a vise before I even got control of my dropped jaw! :-)
I'll never forget the Vice-Principal's calm expression when, bug-eyed, I
turned to look at him so that the consultant couldn't see my face. The
Principal was slowly shaking his head "no" to the other Media Specialist as
her face turned beet red.

Naturally, the Principal and VP had the funniest comments during the "meeting
after the meeting." (The consultant had three months until retirement and his
statements were relatively harmless, but we needed his signature to approve
another pilot program.) These two were true leaders and made daily (sometimes
two or three) walk throughs to observe media center activities and to share
quick informal bits of news or business. It was a hopping place.
