Considering reassessment of what I'm doing
I'm the CEO of a technology company sitting in a teleconference listening to what seem like a bunch of talking heads today. They banter mind numbing details about when all I want to do is grab my son out of daycare and take him someplace to watch him watch people. The aquarium is his favorite and somehow that seems a lot more relevant than what I'm doing now. This job use to be my life and now it just seems to eat it...

Oh how this resonates. I own a company of 10. The time that is wasted by off topic details people. It seems like I simply exist to feed their families.
To those that read and left a comment, I thought I'd look this post up and add a closing note. Ten years has been enough. I am in the process of selling my share of the company and focusing on other things (including my son who just turned one). I've been fortunate to have career options and I hope others find a way to focus on what's important to them, regardless of circumstance. The talking heads aren't important, neither is the money after a while. Best wishes...

Awesome Aquarium
Sell out, grab the retirement loot, and stay home with the kid. You're the CEO of a corporation in a collapsing economy - ABANDON SHIP!
You're the CEO, take the day off. I'm the entry-level accountant with about a million people vying for my crappy job, who are all as qualified as I am. I can't take the day off. And it sucks ass.
Take advantage of your position, and go for it. Trust me, in 100 years it won't matter that you weren't there for a meeting, but it will matter if you are at the aquarium with your son.
Fake a migraine and leave, then hang out with your son. I doubt you'd regret it - time goes by so fast, we need to take as many opportunities as we can to spend time with family and friends, it's the only thing that actually matters.
Wow, you sound like an amazing parent.
