You laugh. I deal with the exact scenario above every week now for the last 4 weeks.

Not always 200 slides, but usually in the 50-200 mark.

The Monday dread is at epic levels now.
Jesus Christ. I have one every Wednesday that I have to update information on that’s about 50 slides long, but I’m not responsible for building it, just updating any dates/statuses that didn’t pull correctly from our database.

This is only the second PowerPoint I’ve had to build in my 6 months here, and I’ll do a third one by the end of the year.

JUST found out that the thing that's ruined my last 3 weeks is going in front of the CEO Saturday. "No less than 50 new slides" have been requested. Boss just left for the day, but asked that I send him where I'm at when I'm done for the day.

I'm done for the day since the rest of the week will likely be 12+ hours in light of this CEO meeting.

I would if I had another job opportunity.

I'm probably just going to suck it up with hopes of a mgmt shakeup. I love the brand, and I want more time on my resume with it.

What underwear y’all using?

I wear champion underwear I bought at Costco but they have a seam on the butt cheek that’s instigating my restless leg bullshit. Looking for something boxer brief style.

I have some Spdyer underwear and some Tommy Hilfiger underwear that I got from Marshall’s. I prefer the “breathable under armor” material as opposed to actual cloth/cotton.

I wear hanes, im more of a loose boxer guy cause thick thighs :sad: I usually buy them at kohls ( :notsure: if it exists elsewhere), probably in the neighborhood of $15 for 5-6 packs iirc. Also used kenneth cole at marshalls are good too.

It's all about those Chicago :alpo: flight prices. We paid about as much as your whole trip for 2 plane tickets from CVG to CDG last year, and that was choosing the cheapest airport in a 3 hour driving radius of our house.
Yea having a real, international airport 35 minutes from my :haus: helps a lot.
After growing up in cities nearly all my life, I never had airport trips that takes 2 hours unless i'm in traffic (like Istanbul), I always wondered what is like to live practically bumfuck nowhere when it comes to traveling internationally. I also live 12 miles away from my airport.
