Yet another visual representation of the fun I am about to have
Sometimes I wish I had a remote control that worked for certain people, and included not only a mute button but also buttons for electric shock and spontaneous combustion.
If I had such a device, I would take it to the workshop I am attending this Friday and Saturday. Such workshops are always incredibly helpful and informative, and this particular workshop is on a subject I definitely need to learn a lot more about. For this reason, I am truly looking forward to gaining some new knowledge. The trouble with workshops of this sort is that inevitably there's always one or two participants who (how shall I put this eloquently and diplomatically?) suck all the joy out of existing.
These self-appointed experts always come armed to the teeth with an arsenal of personal anecdotes, opinions and what they consider to be far more knowledge on the subject than not only all other participants but also the lecturer. In especially fun situations, said individuals also come hell-bent on arguing against whatever the workshop's subject may be.
I fear that for this particular event, the position of Official Workshop Jackhole has already been filled. Huzzah. God grant me patience. Oh, and the aforementioned remote control.
