    Shit I wish... These asshats wouldn't send me the data before the call or share much in the last month about how the project is going since they "like to present the results as a package". We have a board meeting next month and I need their data real bad but for some reason that's the only time everyone could be on the call.
    They're getting screwed worse though, they're all on the E coast and I'm MST. I'd hate to have to present a shit dataset at 6:30pm on a Friday.

    Edit: board meeting next week.

    I'm going to hire you to be my boss, I like your approach. Bet you wouldn't feed me chicken fingers either.

    Of note, I'm less pissed because the data is actually pretty damn good. But still, I won't make it to the bar until 6:30 with these shenanigans...

    If I was a boss there would be monthly lunches that would have, at a minimum, prosciutto (or some similar cured pork), stinky cheese, and red wine.

    And nobody would be required to return to work that day.

    My company is owned by a private equity firm who loves to call huge meetings at the last minute at the most inconvenient times. Hey guys, we need to meet with the sales and ops leaders for six hours day after tomorrow (which happens to be Sunday). Or they need some huge report done, by tomorrow - in the middle of year-end. And they wonder why senior leadership is constantly turning over, no one wants to deal with that bullshit. On the positive, they let my boss go yesterday so they did me a favor for once!

    This is the annoy thread. Maybe we need a WHAT CRUSHES YOUR SOUL thread.

    A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

    Getting on to a bubble lift when its 25 degrees with no wind and sunshine and the dork down at the end pulls down the bubble immediately so you have to ride up with this blue sheet of plastic in your face. When you protest, he says, well, let's put this to a vote. Asshole. Wtf, you drove all the way from Jersey to smell your own farts instead of fresh, crisp, Vermont air?

    It gets chilly when you're skiing in jeans.

    I've never really understood bubble chairs except in places where rain or truly frigid temps are common (i.e. low elevation W/B or Big Sky), and even then, use that shit sparingly. Enjoy the view on the way up, doofus, because if you're enjoying it on the way down, you're a danger to yourself and those around you.

    Just sayin', that chair at Killington can be brutal cold on a lot of days, and I'm sort of happy that bubble is there for certain times, but, Jezuz, people, smell the flowers.

    What's new about Eeyore? We got that from the west coast crew years ago.

    You've been west of the state border?

    The lameness of the EC crowd annoys me a lot, too.

    At least the west coast people are skiing today. You guys don't even bother.

    You reminded me of something else that annoys me. Loudly proclaiming this season's day count. Ech.
