Have we really gotten to the point where the only places we can vent our
frustration is in a coal mine at midnight on christmas day? I've always
looked at this and other lists as a kitchen discussion. Lean/sit on the
counter, crack the beverage of choice and sound off. Keep it
respectable, (i.e. you don't have to f*$@king spell it out, (and if you
think I was using an obscenity, you're wrong. "freaking"), but sometimes
you just need to vent to folks who understand the Dilbertness of our
profession.) because the kids are in the other room, but other than
that, sound off. If it offends you, move on to the next message.
oy vey!
