[quote=Anonymous]OP, what the meeting issue boils down to is that people find it disruptive.  Even if you aren't crucial to the meeting.  It probably also gives off the vibe that you are not interested in the meeting.  In the end, since you are junior, it probably does not leave a good taste in your superiors' mouths.  And, I'm assuming you hope to move up in the company some day.

You have two options it seems.

1.  Work out breaks with whoever runs the meetings.  Perhaps a 5 min one every 2 hours.  Make sure your bladder is empty before you go in and don't chug a bottle of water either.

2.  Stop bringing in water bottle with you.  I was in a long meeting and 3.5 hrs in, I thought my bladder was going to burst.  I was not really part of the meeting so I never had a reason to speak up.  But at that point, when there was a brief lull in the conversation, I shut my notebook and said something along the lines of "excuse me.  I'm sorry but I'm afraid I have to step out for a brief moment.  Apologies for interrupting."  And a couple of people suggested we take a break so everyone could get some water and go to the bathroom.  I think just standing up with your water bottle and exiting the room without saying anything is rude.  [/quote]
