It entirely depends on the context of the meeting, the level of people involved, and their overall ability to foster productive discussion. I had a productive meeting with 15 other people this morning.

What about the other 14?

Every once in a while (ok, frequently), I get a reminder of one thing or another that I don't miss about working in EPC. This is one of those times.

haha, EPC life can be a tough go most day's.. Especially when you're supposed to be in charge

Yeah I know, I'm just being a dick and pretending everything needs to work the way I wish it worked.

My preference is 3-4 in a meeting.

TIL bjstare talks to himself in meetings.

There was never any doubt.

I agree with everyone above. Engineers are the worst.

Foxes living in town are my pet peeve this week. Fuckers killed my kid’s backyard bunnies and left a surprise for my kids headed to school this morning. A 6ft fence won’t slow down foxes much if they are motivated. They are genius ninja coyotes.

Google having absolutely no idea what roads are open or closed

Maybe not a peeve, but something that makes me angry. Abortion protestors make my blood boil. Fuck it upsets me.

If I was filling out a survey of issues I was passionate about, I don't know if this would come to mind, but then I see em and I can hardly formulate words. Actually smacked the hand of one who shoved a flyer at me today.

I don't know of anything that gets me that upset and I'm not even sure why.

[Darell_n]

Shoving a flyer at me ever, is all the justification I need for it to be in this thread. Heck, I’d be pissed if the Domino pizza kid did this to me on the corner, while I was walking to actually get Domino Pizza.

I agree, but I don't lose sleep over the clicky Mexicans clicking the cards at me for whores in Vegas, so now I don't even know what to say...

If they can get "hot girls to my door in 20 minutes" why can't I take their vehicle as a cab to get from Mandalay Bay to Mirage in less than 200 minutes and $75 in cab fare?!???!!?

[ExtraSlow]

It takes more than 20 minutes, trust me.

You're on fire, tonight! I should try to +Rep you but I suspect I can't yet, but I'm also too lazy to simply try.
Plus, I really want to paint that idiot red who doesn't care about Rep, but I still don't care either.
I'm drowning in apathy.

People on Facebook that wish dead people happy birthday. "Today you would have been 116" fuck off, shut up.

Yeah I know. Fuck. I gotta get off of it lol

[Swank]

Yeah, when I was watching those abortion protestors I thought to myself "Save the fetuses but fuck the trees to make flyers? You know, the more bodies we have on this dirt ball, the more trees we need". It's best not to waste energy on protestors whenever possible.

People who don't know that the term "chicken tender" refers to a specific part of the animal. It's not a chicken nugget or any other kind of extruded and formed meat. It's the minor muscle on the underside of the breast.

Broken websites. I don't mean some relic of twenty years ago, but a national chain hardware store that refuses to let me enter anything into the payment lines.

Broken on desktop site, but works fine on mobile
