I have been at a work conference all day and am here for a few more days. After being stuck in a room with 75 sales people all day I have a gripe or two.
1. my personal life-everyone there is talking about their spouses and hooking up with other people on the side. This is accepted pretty much as what is expected to happen. Cheating on your spouse is ok when you are out of town. Well it's not something I agree with, but I am not going to bring up anything aginst it when I am trapped in a room with these people for 3 days. However, just about everyone there has taken issue with the fact that I have brought my lover with me to stay at the hotel. The biggest problem is last time I did the same thing, but it was a different person. What's the big deal you might ask. Well I was honest when asked what happened to the other person. She's home right now with my son. When they assumed I was having an affair it was alright, but when it came out over drinks that we(the three of us) were a "couple" the nastiness started. Why is it that you can be married/have a livein/whatever and cheat, but when you are committed with two people, they both know about each other and infact have a healthy and honest relationship all together, that you are the weird one......grrrrr
2. This one is way more minor-why is it that when you know you are hosting an event where a lot of people are going to be sitting for hours on end and for several days in a row, you allow BAD CHAIRS! I mean really! If I were to be the host of a sales seminar, at the very least I would want to have a somewhat captive audience. When you sit in a horrible plastic monstrosity for 6 hours at a time (no formal breaks) the last thing you are doing is paying attention to the speaker. To take my mind off of the fact that my back had actually got up, left my body and went for a soak in the pool, I was
A. balancing my checkbook in my head
B. trying to remember all seven of the dwarfs names (I think one of them was called Surly)
c. chipping the nail polish off my fingernails (I do this often, my manicurist love me)
d. "bowling" on my phone.
All for the compensation of not having a comfy chair.-Tomorrow I am bringing the lounger from my room.
3. and final gripe-NO BATHROOM BREAKS. Never before did I wish I was a guy until today!!! I have a total chicks bladder
