I can relate to your pain.
At least your boss never said "irregardless" and "enthused" every fucking day of the week even after you told him in a round about nicey nice corporate way that it was not correct grammar and that he was dumber than dirt.
If I had a sucker for every brain numbing management meeting I had to endure I'd be an octopus. Thank god for humor.
Humor, and a lifelong commitment to non-violence, without which many, many people would be dead.:tongue:
I love it when people lift that eyebrow that lets me know they're about to say something important, then say "irregardless". However, I must admit that once my belly laughing subsides, the desire to kick them in the groin is nearly overwhelming. As DMW likes to say "pretend you're Van Gogh and cut off the "ir"!"
Dannymawg, all I can say is that it's a self-therapeutic position, and if you escaped with any portion of your sanity intact, you're a winner. The only way to beat the system is to refuse to play. I live on FAR less money now, and I have no health insurance, but interestingly enough, I rarely find myself sick enough to need a doctor anymore. No more ulcers, stomach cramps (except female-related), headaches, hair loss, and even my insomnia is significantly less. When I think about what it did to my body to eat shit everyday, I'm glad I went on a reduced-shit diet.
