Context: I get yelled at for… get this, bringing up work inside work meetings!:-P Btw if anyone wants to turn this reply into an impromptu therapy session offering me tips on how to survive meetings, I could use some!? :-D
I think my main problem was caring about the work that I had done. If only I could convert myself into a robot that would do everything as asked perfectly, then nothing would ever get done right everything would be perfect!
If talking about work is undesirable at the meetings, maybe you can treat it as more of a social event? I don’t know the atmosphere, but it sounds like it might be. You’re getting paid for it anyways.

NO! We have to talk about “work”. Except we cannot talk about “work”. Therefore we must keep our focus on “work”.
Yeah, one of these days I will figure it out… :-P
