my mate at the time boxed for the local club (fairburn house) and i went with him when we were about 11.
had to stop when i was 15 and then work took over.

 

Corporate and OFFICE POLITICS, fake ass, backstabbing, ******* co-workers, bull**** redundant protocol and procedure, fruitlessly flying around the country on projects that werent going anywhere, and getting there to be presented with more political BS with contractors vs employees, etc, etc, etc. Dilbert Cartoon, Office Space, etc.

Everyones different, but if I sat on on more RIDCULOUS and POINTLESS conference calls with a group of DRONES trying to speak in ACRONYM anymore?? Honestly, there where days I'd be looking out my window at one of our many bridges wondering if jumping could really be much worse.

Add in a fablous night on the town with a group of superiors drinking scotch, kissing ass, and talking ****? 14 hours later getting in your room and being back at 7;ooAM??? Those were the best!! :rofl

Hope that helps!!!
