I was in the military for five years, so basically... all of that time was pretty much useless. Even while in Iraq, most of my day was spent playing soccer or football and in Afghanistan, we migrated on to throwing knives and trying to stack rocks on top of each other to look like penises... We also placed different sodas on rocks to see if not only would they explode due to heat, but also if any drink did so faster than the others (science).
If you want ACTUAL work, I used to have to read data reports and compile them into summaries for executives to read. Over the course of a week, I received over 1000 "reports" that were never more than one sentence long and had no context or reference points (about a third were incomplete sentences)... I requested that the data collection sites give more detail and I got reamed. After the hour long lecture, my boss finally asked if I thought he was stupid or if I thought everyone else was (we had about a dozen sites). Perplexed by the whole ordeal, I asked the most obvious but disrespectful question I could think of: if he had actually read any of the "raw data" and to my surprise he said no (I wasn't surprised that he hadn't read them, but that he admitted it). So I answered "Then yes, I think everyone else is stupid." He got really mad, but when he finally looked at what I had to work with, the closest I got to an apology was "I will talk to them and try to get better data reports."
even more that you got the warning. Good times we live in, when you just can load your own stupidity on other people's backs :slapface:
