On average, it's been more stressful at work than what can be considered typical, so it was nice that I had a little vendor presentation to attend today, at which they provided lunch. Free lunch has that way of quelling the mind in that one-less-thing-to-worry-about kind of way. And then to have gotten a free t-shirt for asking a good question, who can beat that? Certainly not the office. Not on this day.
As soon as I got back to work I learned I had a meeting thirty minutes later. And there's nothing like meeting with people to explain to them exactly how to dismantle everything you've built, your professional pride and joy, over the last seven years. It's all crap I tell you (I'd tell them, but they stopped listening to me years ago, if they ever listened to me at all that is), and they've been giving that away in droves, too, the last few years.
Unlike free lunch and free shirts, I've yet to find anyone lining up for their free piles of crap. Though, much more disappointingly, they seem to let that crap be dished upon them and continue taking it with a smile. Wake up people! Them's chunks o' crap in your teeth!
