I missed my flight

Post by Radbird »

Grrrrr. I thought a 3:00 flight on a Friday before a holiday weekend was a no-brainer. But these meetings just won't end because these pompous [expletive] wonks love to hear themselves talk. So now I don't fly home until 10:00 tonight. And my "holiday" weekend will be spent getting crap done so I can have updated numbers ready for these execs to waddle through on Tuesday morning after their 3-days of yachting on Chesapeake Bay.

I wish my computer screen were being projected up on the wall as I type this so they could see what arrogant SOBs I think they are.

Rat bastards. I hate every one of their sorry [expletives].

If it was from his mouth, he might need a new job.

I have zero problem saying F U and bailing on meetings of this nature.

Of course, I have a boss who supports me 110%.
If you can't get it done during business hours, I say don't do it.

Absolutely.

Easier said than done. Depending on the circumstances, I wouldn't hesitate to do that. But there was good stuff that happened after the executive bloviation ended that the other guys in the trenches needed me for, and we were able to get some real work done. I just wish these guys had headed for their yachts earlier, because they added absolutely no value to the process, merely fed their own sorry ass egos.

And on the bright side, Dulles was pretty well emptied out by 10:00.
