I had lunch last week with an old friend from the former job. He’s a good guy, and it was nice to finally have a lunch with him where I was happy & not bitching about management the entire time. (He’s part of management, but somehow I could still talk to him.)<\/p>\n
He said he’d forgotten to bring a quote from me along, but he’d kept it since I’d said it – July 3, 2003. He emailed it over the weekend. I can still hear myself saying it, and can even see my hands waving wildly. Good thing I make myself laugh, otherwise I’d be upset that everyone else was laughing, too.<\/p>\n
