Lrod is beat.

Today i went to a training seminar at the company offices. It was a grueling eight hour session. They were trying to indoctrinate us into speaking a new language that resembles astrology. It's the old personality-type thing. The company has established a vocabulary to facilitate better interpersonal relationships and better salesmanship. It's all a lot of psychology mumbo jumbo.

I tried to make the best of it. I always enjoy mingling with the other employees since I don't get to do it much because we work from home. But I had to make it eight hours on three cigarettes and this upsets lrod's chemistry. Plus, my work style is not compatible to sitting at one task for eight hours. I work much more than eight hours a day usually, but I break it up and go from one task to another frequently.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi.
I'll be getting another eight hours of brainwashing tomorrow. I think I'll slap on a nicotine patch before I go.

yeah, I feel sorry for smokers :| man. They get it tough.

Poor smokers. Poor, poor smokers.

I've been to two or three of those soul destroying fucking things in my tiny little lifetime. I despise them, man! Corporate fucking team building horse shit and tea and biscuits and mingling with fellow employees? I'm working with these cunts, that doesn't make them friends. Christfuckhellbollocks!

But yeah, poor smokers. Awww there there.

Good Grief...is it required that you attend?

I hated those things, everybody all closey closey for a few sessions and then right back to stabbing whoever necessary in the back.

Give em hell Lrod.....
