Today I attended a meeting designed to find solutions to a range of business issues. There was one participant who whined for almost an hour and a half about her particular problems and how they were completely unsolvable. At one stage I felt like screaming at her: "Three million people are killed, injured or homeless in Haiti, Copenhagen was an unmitigated disaster, women are persecuted for wanting to be educated in Afghanistan, and you're whining about the fact that you can't manage your contractors. If you want to carp and moan about trivial and inconsequential things, write a blog like the rest of us!!!". Of course, I wasn't brave enough to do that, so I instead fantasised about stabbing her through the eye with the pen in the picture. That was quite enjoyable.
