First of all listen to this while you're reading. It's U2's song "Beautiful Day"

I was listening in on a work webcast. Our CEO is leaving because of personal reasons, which I interpret as "I have a personal problem with how much this company sucks." The whole talk was so full of fluff, and how times are tough, things will get better, he's leaving us in good hands, yada yada yada." At the end people started getting up and talking about his accomplishments. When I thought the ass kissing couldn't get any cheesier, someone played a slide show starring the beloved departing CEO set to U2's Beautiful Day. Immediately I started laughing at how ridiculous it was, as did some of my coworkers also listening or watching the webcast. I mean the only way to top that level of cheesy ass kissing would've involved actual lips, cheez whiz, and a real ass. Like wow.

On another note, my boss talked to me on Monday and said I needed to start doing work again. Boooo! I had finished my project a few weeks back and things have been pretty relaxed. He's such a nice guy though that he left me alone for awhile, until this week when he said something like "your next deadline is in a month, do you think you can make it?" As in hint hint, you should probably get started. Oh well, fun while it lasted. Time to go be fake inspired by some more U2.
