Well. I won't get THOSE hours back...

Tonight was Browns Concession Stand Training Day, so Rick, Matt from NMSS Buckeye, Belinda from Team Bee's Hive, another team cap named Holly (with Jennifer) and I met at Browns Stadium.

I don't know about this. These 'organizers" don't seem organized AT ALL.

Seems like all enthusiasm and no substance. One ironic exception was the Legal Counsel, yet he still managed to pull out a 'rah rah' speach.

New low: the 'MC' admitted he "hates being up here". 'Here' being at the mic'ed podium. Hubris sucks. >snerk!<

"UPCOMING ATTRACTIONS" headed one PowerPoint slide (the italics were mine). No kidding! (Try "Coming Attractions".) I know what's *really* 'up-coming', and it's not attractive.

Another deusey to report: apparently they will be 'ramping up' the room at the top of the ramp. Unbelievable. Do these people not listen to the words coming out of their mouths? They sure love the sound of them.

"At the end of the day" (that was THE over-used phrase of the evening), we walked out before the 2nd game ended, well after 9 o'clock PM. Which was clearly NOT "the end of the day" for the rest of the group.

One of the management team leaders came running to see why we were leaving. It must have occurred to him that we couldn't ALL (2 men, 4 women) be going to the restroom... We shared our grievances as best we could, as politely as we could. He was the sort of consoler, however, that regards his words higher than the words of the injured, so it was a little hard to be heard. Also, it was very loud.

The guy who chased us ("End Of The Day Smurf"?) said his management team is "different from all others".

Different is fine. What would be NICE is EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT, or MINDFUL. Try those; one, or any combination.

This, tonight, was nonsense. But we're probably going to submit to it anyway. Because as much as I despise inept management, I hate Multiple Sclerosis far more.
