Meetings, Bloody Meetings!

[rockinhamburger]

I sat through a horrible meeting today. It went two hours long, with nothing constructive whatsoever; the people assembled merely throwing out random ideas that everyone else countered while throwing out more ideas that everyone else countered.

Infuriating.

Person chairing the meeting: Well, it's summer, so there's gonna be a lot of hit and miss.

Me: *in my head* It's hit OR miss! How does hit AND miss even make sense!? Think before you speak, Adult-With-Twenty-More-Years-of-Life-Experience-Than-I!

Me: *aloud* ...

I fucking hate meetings. They make me want to smash things.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN.

I have an office job as "person for everything" right now so I have that one guy who has to explain me what to do with those FREAKING EXCEL FILES *rage* and he never thinks BEFORE telling me what to do but is rather sitting next to me thinking loudly in half-sentences and weird abbreviations so I don't get what he means but I have to sit there and LISTEN.

Also, he doesn't understand the computer. WTH???

This always ends with me talking to him in the same encouraging gentle tone of the guy helping me in maths and him declaring after FINALLY figuring out what I should do "Now that was difficult, wasn't it...." in a thoughtful voice.
ME: "...." BECAUSE AFTER ALL, IT WAS PRETTY EASY AND I FOUND ALL THE SOLUTIONS AFTER NUDGING HIM INTO LENGHTY EXPLANATIONS. WYH DO YOU HAVE A JOB??? O_________o

We'll just become the leading personalities in RL, how about that

was it a work thing? i fucking hate working. why do we have to ~work for a living?! i find that that is the majority of meetings, too: review of the last meeting, brainstorm brainstorm brainstorm, some quarterly reviews, brainstorm brainstorm brainstorm, play devils advocate because that's what they teach you in business school, brainstorm some more. nothing ever gets done!

p.s. can i bitch about work too? i work at a bank and if we're even ONE PENNY off at the end of the day we have to do paperwork. so i had been hiding 2 cents, 5 cents, etc. but they found it. if i do it again im fired. >_< fired for less than a dollar. sweet.

Yeah meetings suck ass. Especially at 8am.
As do messed up phrases that don't make sense.
