    People who waste my time, and others time, inviting them to meetings when they aren't needed.

    If you aren't participating or engaged, you're likely not needed.

    Also starting meeting late...as we now have waited 5 minutes for people to join...

    I go with the Elon Musk Rule on meetings

    1. No large meetings.

    2. If you're not adding value to a meeting, leave.

    3. No frequent meetings.

    I hate the clown who asks questions just to be heard asking a question.

    If you got any of the moisture Monday/Tuesday, that'll help.

    I pretty much keep to the above for my meetings, but there is an assclown who invites me to a ton of meetings.

    Mark the invite as tentative and then "forget". Works for me.

    But that's not what Governor [fill in the blank] said! [/snark]

    Unfortunately, you may be right though...

    Got my son out here to help clearing some trees for a place to build my deer hunting condo. Got 4 big ones down and hauled away when a hydraulic hose burst. :)

    Hour and a half later we are back up and running. I guess it wasn't that bad. I just wanted to rant!!

    Barely got out of my truck today out at the hunting property, just took a quick stroll through the clover and triticale patch. I've picked no less than 10 ticks off of me. They must have been hanging onto the triticale heads. Part two of this will be in the Best Things in Life thread.

    I read that quick and I thought you said they were hanging into your testicle heads. Glad you're okay Bob.

    Yeah, no. I rarely do fast food. However, Oklahoma has decided to let the patients run the asylum. Stillwater, Oklahoma mayor had issued a wear a mask order and caved in after threats of violence from a certain crowd of patriots. Of course these puff chested patriots were threatening the teenagers and college kids working at these local businesses, idiots. But hey, we also had college age kids packing a few locals to celebrate Cinco de Mayonnaise to get drunk and laid. It's a real chit show here and I'm predicting a big ol spike in cases over the next two weeks. Shortsightedness has to be the most common human trait..
