    Things I hate

    1. cell phones

    even though I have two of them

    2. Instant Messenger (Yahoo or AOL or ICQ)

    Isn't e-mail fast enough? I answer 60 bloody e-mails a freakin' day. My boss has been after me to install YIM. I've resisted. I'll resist until I get fired over the bloody issue. Enough is enough.

    3. Breakfast meetings for work

    I quit a job once because I was required to attend a couple of breakfast meetings. Look I'll get to work at 7:30 if I *HAVE* to. I will work many hours. I will work 60 hours weeks (on the short term) if I have to....

    But I am NOT eating my blinkin' BREAKFAST with that rat-ugly bunch of malcontents that I have to see between 8 - 12 hours during the day. Forget it.

    Hullo!

    I would have to add working lunches to that. OK, if an emergency comes up that has to settled before that afternoon, but that's it. Even if I take my lunch at my desk, it doesn't mean I want to work. Lunches are MY time and are supposed to be a break from work.

    I would say those who feel that their cell phone calls are more important than anything else.
