Last week our department took a drive (a 3 HOUR drive) to our furniture manufacturer's new LEED certified headquarters and warehouse. In all honesty, the building was great, the LEED ideas woven into it's design were unique and actually very interesting. That of course, did not stop me from picking up the pace a bit during some less than stimulating presentations...(you gotta keep the mind limber, on top of things...don't let some boring droning on bitty keep you down). For my entertainment on excursions such as this, I usually like to keep a list of different things said throughout the day to keep things interesting. It's easy, it's fun, and it looks to others hat you may actually be taking notes!!
Below are the results:
Evil Eye Count: 1
Really?? This low number is quite impressive as the person overqualified in the area of giving the Evil Eye was on this trip. I am still shocked. Maybe I wasn't paying attention. Maybe she wasn't.
Number of Good Cups of Coffee: 5
Normally I don't tally something like this (or drink 5 cups of coffee in 1 day). But it was STARBUCKS, and they were plying us with it. I was caffeine shit faced by the ride home.
Number of Idiot Comments made by various participants: 3
Again, quite impressive given the attendees. Did you know that recycling starts in the workplace and then hopefully trickles down to the employee? Right. That's how that works eh? Good to know, coming from a compnay that just started recycling it's paper products LAST Month 2008. That's right, Last Month 2008, not Last Month 1990.
Number of Sore Loser comments: 1
Really? There was "nothing worth watching" on the TV last night? I know your guy didn't win, but history was just made. Also, kudos to the great attitude!! You are a part of upper mgt, and I don't think our hosts were expecting a snide comment from you when asking "who stayed up late last night to watch the election". Well done! Well done!
Number of Asshole Comments: 2
Well, really it was 1, said by me, but it was sooooo assholish that my co-worker said that it counted as 2. She gets a vote, I said it about her.
