All this being equal. I hate that phrase. It's right up there with "think outside the box," all the blather about "new paradigms," and the notion that x, y, or z is "powerful." Ugh. It's almost as annoying as people who insist on boring us with critical theory jargon at cocktail parties. I say almost, because at my parties we throw empty liquor bottles at the offender and mock him/her endlessly. It's oodles of fun!
Yesterday I got to waste an hour and a half of my day in a meeting with a team of middle management meat heads of one of my clients. In the first fifteen minutes I was reminded just why I ran screaming for the exit during the first eight months of my corporate servitude. By the end of the first half hour I was ready to scratch my eyes out.
What did we accomplish? Not much. Unless you count their decision to form a committee on their end to discuss the meeting, and we'd need to meet again after the first of April to review that committee's recommendations. What they plan on discussing, I have no idea. All I heard was an hour and a half of tired industry buzz words.
For God so loved the world, he did not send a committee. *sigh*
Still all was not lost. I did encounter a great new cocktail as I sought solace at Peche following the cluster f*ck meeting. The Steel Magnolia. Try it, it's great!
- 3 oz Gray Goose Vodka
- 1 oz Pomegranate
- 1/2 oz Grand Marnier
- 1/2 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
*Cheers*
