All righty. This is it, it is not perfect, I’m not happy with the lights and shadows, but I need to seriously rethink everything if I want to make it any better than this.

If you have been working in corporate world long enough, and in different places, there are always these archetypes that seem to repeat themselves…
A meeting which goes on and on and on and on and there’s no escape…
A raging (idiot) boss, who has massaged the numbers of his own work to look better, and who hoists all blame on you…
A lazy **** of a co-worker who is watching for any opportunity of proving your own slip, in order to boost their own work and hide their failures due to slacking…
Someone who has quietly submitted to their fate and is trying to endure ‘till the end of meeting, constantly refilling their mug of tea or coffee…
That poor sap who just wants this thing to be over and done with, and whose body language screams that murder is always an option if they snap…
Someone who is going for an extended vacation or leave for one reason or another, and who is trying to train a replacement while in a meeting, and also getting frantic messages from the newbie who is picking up the load and who can’t find their butt with two hands, map, flashlight, compass and Scout Troop…
That aggravating ****er who doesn’t give a **** about the meeting itself, makes sure everyone knows it, and is there solely to mump on good stuff, and actually has eaten all good food before everyone else has had a chance to even get a crumb and leaves behind the ***tty cookies no one wants to touch…
The-all-business-like person who is working like a bull, and who just wants to get back to their project, now, because his time is more valuable than this…
Well. Hell, Inc. was no different than those other big corporations.
However, all six silently fumed and vowed to find whoever was responsible for PowerPoint representations, and then they’d make that mortal suffer like no one had suffered before.
In a way, they were very much like us in that regard, too.
