Today I had a meeting for work in Kingston. It's "The" meeting of the year for the optical I work for, and it is the first one I've ever attended. I will say it was pretty informative, and our store was given highest praises, but I wonder if people realize that these meetings could be cut in half if people would just A) not ask the same questions over and over, and B) think "Is that a stupid comment?", or "Does saying this really contribute anything worthwhile to this meeting" I mean I know they say "There are no stupid questions" but I BEG to differ. There ARE stupid questions. I think it's much nicer to say there are stupid questions then to say there are stupid people...but there are stupid people too. Yes, I will make the bold statement, that there are stupid questions and stupid people. I enjoyed the meeting in that the food was really good, and our optical, and the company as a whole had a really good year. I will be able to go back to my store and report with excellent standings, and give them the short version of the meeting minus the lame ass questions. I guess I'm just tired too, it was a long day, as I had to leave at 6:30 this morning to get to Kingston on time, and I didn't get home until 7:30 this evening, and I guess by the end of the meeting I was kind of hoping everyone else would be on the same page as me "Get me the blankity blank out of here."

Have I been Transported to an Episode of the Office?
