3 hours into the IBM welcome order meetings. After light breakfast, it's been all stuff for sales and marketing. Why is customer support here? Why is F&A here? Why is IT here? We easily could have come in after this and not been bored to death.

Because misery loves company.

*sigh* Sadly true.

The last two speakers were (FINALLY) stuff that actually mattered to everyone. That was nice. Now I'm catching back up at the office for a few hours before I go back for a 'reception' thing for a couple more hours.

Clearly, they want you to hone your covert time wasting skills.

And that I most certainly did, especially after I found a set of IBM branded earbuds in my swag bag. Plugged them into the iPhone and the meeting got much more bearable with a new soundtrack.

Heh.

Sadly, they didn't use those slides or any of the Jim Henson produced intros or training videos so far. :)
