There and Back Again

Reading: Murder List
Listening: Be Here (Keith Urban)
Pondering: The stupid things you do, you regret…if you have any sense, and if you don’t regret them, maybe you’re stupid. (Katharine Hepburn)

Have you noticed that in every training class or every conference or meeting there is always that one person in the group who tends to irritate the rest of us? Yeah, they’re the ones who either really says stupid things or asks stupid questions or the ones who always like to ruffle their own feather in front of everyone else. It never fails, there’s always one.

I attended a Grant Writing class a week ago and there was this one guy in class who is definitely on my list of people who should never be allowed to talk again. Every word that came out of his mouth was a compliment of how great he was, how high and mighty he was compared to us normal people and how I have a Master’s degree here and a Doctorate’s degree here. Yuck! He made me want to puke. Unfortunately for me and the rest, the class is meeting up for part two of the course this Wednesday. The rest of us have to sit through another 8 hours of his stupidity…
