The wind beneath your corporate wings was probably blown out of someone's ass
Friday, June 26, 2009 at 5:11AM Yesterday I had to go downtown to a government office for a design meeting. In the hallway they had a whiteboard used to indicate who was in the office and whether they were available.
At the top was scrawled the bullshit inspirational quote of the day. Something to do with not just weathering the storm and learning to dance in the rain, instead. Or whatever.
Underneath that was written:
Rick Beech* - In an all-day "strategic planning" meeting (I HATE MY LIFE)
...guess he didn't feel like dancing in the rain.
*Names have been changed to protect the suicidal

OMG I have those types of meetings. Bold of Rick to post that for everyone to see. I may have to try that.
That's too funny - guess maybe Rick doesn't like rain...or strategic planning meetings. I would probably feel the same about the latter. ;)
Seriously? That's awesome. I wish I had a white board. I think mine would permanently say Out to Lunch
Egads. If I had to spend all day in a government-driven "strategic planning meeting" I'd hate my life too.
How brave of him. That's awesome.
I told you to change my name, but did you have to call me Rick? (just kidding everyone. sort of)
You should have taken a picture and sent it off to the "Passive Agressive Notes" people. Awesome!
I don't need inspiration, just my paycheck! LOL!
Dude, that just earned him the reputation of "that guy" as in,
"Don't piss off 'that guy' cuz he may shoot up the place.."
Hahaha!! I wonder how much poor "Rick" got in trouble for that.
Oh, man, if he got away with that, I want to work where he works. Gotta wonder if it was the strategy meeting for his pending departure...
That is awesome. I applaud his fight/dissent (even if it's futile).
Go Rick. Wonder if he drinks.
No way it said "I hate my life" I can't believe it. You should have taken a picture!!!
That was a truly inspirational quote. Probably written by someone who still has a FUCKING JOB!
Oops.
I used to have those same fucking meetings. These days, I'd kill to be able to half-pay attention in some freezing conference room.
Gotta love the honesty.
