Let's Get Honest About Virtual Meetings

I'm writing this editorial right smack in the middle of a four-hour WebEx meeting. I just finished my salmon and crackers, my phone is on speaker and muted, and I'm still in the same sweats I wore on my morning exercise walk. I'm desperately resisting the pull of my e-mails, which lie just below the PowerPoint on my desktop, piling up by the minute. But I'm on deadline (aren't we all?), so I'm multitasking and writing while I listen. No one ever will know.
