I just spent 3 hours of my life in a meeting with 5 other people. During that time I heard "48 months? That's 2 years, isn't it?" and "When are we just going to stand up to the gangs and quit being afraid of their guns?" Let's be clear - the speakers are degreed professional adults, one an educator. And I don't think anyone had partaken of controlled substances or adult beverages.
I quit smoking in 2005 and I have never wanted a cigarette as damn bad as I do tonight.
Why are we worried about illegal immigrants when we apparently have aliens living among us? And they breed!

LMAO!!! Maybe they need the reality check. And some brains. Did you set them straight? Did you snicker? If not, how were you able to control yourself? Is your tongue bleeding?

This reminds me...I have a meeting next week with the executive board of a club I belong to. We are discussing our goals and "getting back to the basics of why we exist" kinds of things. I am considering bringing a flask with me.

I hate meetings. If we could actually have meetings that stayed on topic and people didn't divert to random crap about their lives or their stupid opinions then maybe meetings would actually accomplish something. Instead, you get trapped listening to a bunch of blowhards grandstand about stuff that has nothing to do with the actual meeting. And, whoever is running it should cut them off at the knees!

I am still wrapping my head around the meeting. What the heck were the multiple topics?

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Isn't 48 months 4 years? 48/12=4? 24 months would be 2 years?

Note, I would have said Mars, but I don't want to offend any of the good folks from there;

It was an HOA committee meeting. I am the chair but they won't let me bring a weapon because my "ahem" leadership style might be a little too direct. I now understand why the architecture committee meets in a private home with adult beverages. It's truly sad when the most intelligent contributions came from the ones who missed the meeting. I keep telling myself they are on a learning curve but I'm afraid they are traveling on the short bus.
Thanks for letting me vent here in safety instead of wearing orange in isolation.
