You need to breakout and park this way of thinking.

I feel your pain. Typical end of April nonsense.

Ours was a weekend. 2 extra days laughing and trying to be pleasant with the idiotic/nasty work colleagues you can barely stand to look at for 5 days a week. I booked this week off just to recover.

If anyone from work is reading this. You know this is true.

Oh God I have endured so much of this nonsense over the years. It's truly draining and I don't know how anyone thinks that it actually does any good. But then I loathe and detest the corporate world.

We've started this bullshit in the last year! Making people get up and speak to give an update when not in the comfort zone is out of order in my opinion!

All very valid points but let's park your ideas. I think you're trying to put square pegs in round holes. Now who can think of a way to square this circle?
