Quoted incorrectly or? That sucks.
Shit hit the fan at work for me today. Found out that our big maintenance outage that's happening in a week got it's approved spend cut IN HALF. Chaos ensues. Nobody has any idea how to get to the spend number. Went from $90MM to $45 MM Turnaround manager is horrified. Cost people are freaking the fuck out. All my engineers are legit pissed that the scope they've been working on for TWO YEARS has to be adjusted in half to meet this new budget. And the project still starts in seven days.

Had a team lunch because my boss is leaving the company and former CIA director John Brennan walked into the restaurant we ate at and had lunch.

I don't understand what you don't get.
Most of the management at my company puts in a solid 14-16 hour day.
Now, if his output sucks then he's just a moron that works slow.
