The surprising truth is, I don't really do all that well in large groups. 1 on 1, I'm okay.

So, there was a large group meeting at work today and I literally thought I was going to die. It was just too many people all over. It wasn't a good situation. And, everyone wanted to socialize during the breaks and I kept thinking about how I could escape...

1. Out the window (the room was overlooking the A/C units on a sub-roof that was a hard surface).
2. Through a side door (it was locked).
3. Go to the washroom and then make a mad dash out to the parking lot (on my way out, my manager was drinking coffee in the hallway talking to some people and called me over to ask me how I was "enjoying" the meeting. I said, "great!" She then escorted me back into the meeting room.
4. Pull the fire alarm (I'm sure there was one, but I couldn't find it).
5. Move the room clock ahead to the meeting end time (it was too high up on the wall).

@DeWayfarer Surprisingly, I'm on the shy and quiet side.

@DeWayfarer I already explained why I didn't. 🤨

@MarkPaul oh it's there, your just not observant.🙃

@DeWayfarer I already said that. 🧐

@MarkPaul no you didn't. You didn't want to enough. That all it is to being observant.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@DeWayfarer 🤦 Yeah, I did. Let me connect the dots for you. It was a large group meeting. I didn't have unlimited time to find it. As I said, I'm sure it was there, with the time I had I couldn't find it. In any case, truth be told, even if I found it, I wouldn't have pulled it.

@MarkPaul no you wouldn't have. You're too worried about your job.

Leave the job it's over.

@DeWayfarer You don't understand how the world of business operates.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@MarkPaul Guy all of this is because you don't want to. The reasons why you don't want to are irrelevant.

@DeWayfarer I'm a businessman. You don't understand.

@MarkPaul Then start your own business. Heck even I did it once.
