Thanks Dinah, there was one project that went for over a year, and I swear at least half the day was meetings, because it was so stakeholder/heavy. Saving Changes...
Meetings, Mails, improper documentation in real life projects-- these are main causes that drives me crazy personally.
At the same time, these are the things which guide you thru' crunch time.
One meeting, mail or a single document will put light on your doubts, confusion and then you have clear picture how to proceed further.
It depends on the contents of meeting, mail or document whether they help you make decision or more of them required to clear the picture.
