working 12 hour shifts. then, as you are clocking out, being told that you have to come in early (cutting into your sleep) because a couple of co. bigwigs are going to give a talk and they want us all there so it looks like we give a flying fuck! i sat through 2 of these time wasters, and have yet to hear anything even fucking REMOTELY interesting or important...if i felt like being bored into a damn coma, i could do it without going in to work early & listening to pencil-necked geeks spouting platitudes & todays hot buzz-words... for letting me vent without getting my ass fired for saying that to their damn faces.
