I am sitting in class right now. My day started out nice. It's a beautiful day outside and I got to sit at the coffee shop for a while. My day took a turn for the worse when I had to sit through a ridiculous meeting that involved some higher-ups on the University preaching to me about how "great" things are within our department and how impactful the programs are that we are producing. Insert reality here and understand that they were specifically speaking to a handful of individuals that are eating out of their hands who never push the envelope and who basically do nothing. It makes me so angry to hear words that sound like this: nah nah naaaah nah nah. It's all a big puff of niceness that doesn't translate into reality. Oh, beurocracy and hierarchy... you drive me nuts!
