For a start, Teribus I don't have to defend myself against people like you - f**k you and your scorn!

Actually, if you must know, my comments were a reflection on the amount of time I spent in pointless meetings listening to drivel spouted by egotistical, know-nothing idiots. and the amount of time I spent writing other pointless drivel on flip-charts in 'brain-storming' sessions, and other stupid 'management' exercises, which never produced anything remotely worthwhile.

Add to that the equally endless hours spent trying to second guess the intentions of the super-annuated ego-maniacs at the top and the subsequent office politics. "Oh, STEVE farted in the meeting this morning - this must mean he he wants us to stand on our heads and juggle coconuts with our feet - possibly ... ???"

And while this was going on sytematic ways of doing things, knowledge, skills and craftmanship were gradually phased out and replaced by brute-force-and-ignorance, bullshit and lots and lots of arm-waving. No wonder the world economy is going down the tubes!

Anyway, changing the subject, who exactly are you, Teribus? I get these paranoid fantasies about you being some sort of 'spook' who is paid to go on to websites and ridicule anything vaguely subversive. You only ever seem to support the status-quo. If I'm even vaguely right, I have the satisfaction of knowing that your life working life is an even bigger waste of time than mine was.

Oh and by the way, since I became involuntarily 'work-free' I have begun to live again - I insist - working was a waste of my time and everyone else's (38 years of my life, Teribus, you a**hole!). And at least I don't have to take any crap from people like you!
