One of my colleagues takes the best meeting notes ever. He usually manages to get a touch of humor in. Mostly, he does this with little Latin tags. Alas, I usually have to ask him to translate, but it's worth the effort.
The thing is, I always read the notes he sends out carefully because I know they're going to have a good tidbit. I don't always read notes from other meetings as carefully.
In pale imitation of my colleague, I made some comment about how we <3 having our next meeting on Valentine's Day. I wonder if anyone will notice? ;')
A few years ago, the woman who wrote the minutes for our Faculty Senate did a great job-not so much jokes as dry wit that show up in the middle of things. Nowadays, they are not nearly as interesting, when the minutes even get posted.cat
