So, throwing the Safety Inspection at him (which takes me about 1-2 hours depending on if everyone else does their jobs. Which they usually don't and I have to fix it xD), is a baaaaaad move. Especially since it lists on the last page at the bottom that it's due every Monday before closing hours.

Needless to say, I didn't check the other day, but odds are, it wasn't done. Oh and we did get word that Auditor's were out and expected soon.....sooooooo.
So when someone asks you "how many people work here?" just respond with "about half of them."

A lot of people at my office just love meetings. Meetings after meetings. Oh, is there just a tiny issue that could be explained in five minutes? Let's book an hour-long meeting next to my three other hour long meetings where we talk about the work that needs to be done but never actually get around to doing it because we're just so into talking about what we'd like to do instead. Just easier that way.

Thankfully I don't have too many of these kinds of meetings and I'm able to get my stuff done and have time to take a breather. Meanwhile, other people are complaining about being too busy, but when you're in meetings all day long day after day, of course nothing's going to be done. The amount of junk I can plow through when I've got a solid 8-hour uninterrupted block of time to work with is magical. Heck, yesterday, I had built five design history files up to the point where I couldn't go any further and now it needs other people to do their part before it can be 100% finished. If I had a bunch of meetings yesterday, no way that stuff would have gotten done.
