Here I go, into "Meeting Hell!!"

First on the list, a 9am meeting on why we need to buy some useless piece of garbage the boss loves, followed by a meeting on another redundant toy that they have already purchased.

I should be shot for wasting my life in this dreck.

2. Hey, the first guy was a REAL PERSON.

Got a chance to talk to him after the meeting. Alone. Nice guy, SMART, knows the bullshit going on and is just trying to hang on. Quietly made the boss look silly...OOPS. Hope he didn't notice.

Next meeting at 10:30.

7. Sorry, didn't mean to be offensive. Just kidding. If you have a

job working for someone else, it's hell, believe me, I know. Thirty years as an engineer cleaning up crooked politicians stupid mistakes. It doesnt sound like you've aquired a taste for bullshit yet. Good for you.

5. These were both semi-conference call meetings.

At the end of the last one I told my supervisor to "...STOP SHUSHING ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR GOD DAMNED KIDS!"

His response, "OK, OK! Sheesh!" Typical narcisistic bully type.

8. Hard on the tummy.

Thinking of going to work for LOWE'S or HOME DEPOT.

YEAH, I know, Depot is owned by rePukes. I'd rather it was LOWE's but at this point I don't care too much.

Wifey the Nurse is recovering from surgery and will be doing a work-in-a-bookstore gig. She hates nursing, LOTSA assholes to work with, so I told her if she wanted to work, do something FUN for a change.

Needless to say we are major downsizing our lives and all.
