i'm looking forward to most of this...the only thing i'm NOT looking forward to is the different training teams yelling back and forth at each other throughout the restaurant "we've got spirit, yes we do! we've got spirit, how 'bout you?" which, i'm pretty sure, is what's expected of us.
booo!
alright...edit...shower time is moving up to 5:49pm...which is now.

i'm back from dinner...and in case you were wondering, going out to dinner with a bunch of your bosses who are all taking advantage of the company paying for the booze...not as cool as you might think.
hahah, welcome to corporate america,
welcome to "the Man"
Ammmyyyyyyy
No. I don't think it's Corporate America. It's just a bunch of characters who haven't grown up yet thinking they will get away with it (and, if they worked at Boeing, they would not be bosses for long). It's our "Culture" America (you and I are part of that) that makes it easy for people to not grow up. As I gain years (and, hopefully, wisdom), I've concluded that there are children of all ages.
Otherwise, I agree with Amy: blah, blah, blah, blah ...
