Always HATED stupid meetings!! ESPECIALLY meetings to plan further meetings! FRIGGEN HUGE waste of time, effort, energy and money!
I HATED bank teller meetings and grocery clerk meetings... mandatory (having to go in to work on my day off sure didn't make me happy) and TOTALLY worthless. Nothing EVER changed. People quickly forgot, etc.
Once, while pushing for Battle Creek Township to join the City of Battle Creek, the Bank I worked for had a VERY early mandatory meeting to push and try to brainwash us to accept and vote for it in the upcoming election.
Back then I was a sassy, royal Bit*h (I was pretty so I got away with a lot back then -- also I was highly confrontational and loud) and I DIDN'T want to get up early for some assinine meeting.
So I complained about it a lot, but went. The only perk was they served breakfast.
The guy gave his spiel about how wonderful it will be for the Township (IT WASN'T AND STILL ISN'T) and then he made the mistake of saying, "It will only cost you the price of a cup of coffee a day," (blatant LIE from hell). So I made my move...I quickly and LOUDLY said in a disgusted sarcastic tone: "I DON'T DRINK COFFEE!!!!"My Boss, Shirley McFee, a total hard@ss lady who was a fair woman (she was the Mayor of Battle Creek for a bit) that could hold her own in a man's world, shot me the dirtiest look ever, but I didn't care.
I STILL hate the City of Battle Creek and praise God He got me out of it finally. I pray I don't have to ever move back to there again (it has a habit of sucking former residents back into its web).
