So I'm here at some hotel by the airport at a Microsoft .NET conference on Windows Workflow Foundation. Already, I'm ticked off. I've been sitting here for 10 minutes and the presenters are all 'let's wait a few minutes for the stragglers." There are 150 people in this room who responsible enough to show up on time and early and you're going to punish ALL of us for the sake of 10 stragglers! People should be outraged. There should be riots up in here.

It's not like the first 15 minutes of your presentation is going to be packed with such integral information about the "only way to ever get this technology to work is (...). Nooooo, It's usually packed with info such as "hi, I'm Karl...let me do some bad stand-up about my background and talk about how I prayed my way out of my STAGE FOUR cancer for my "captive" audience that I'm holding hostage against the real information that they're here to learn.

Ugh. He actually started his presentation with the phrase. "Me and my partner are just normal people." Really! I thought you were some bad-ass holy person with special magic cancer curing god powers. Good thing you're just a normal Microsoft person with normal smart person intellect with a better than average opinion of yourself and a worse than average actual reason to have that opinion.

You and your stupid Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts make me sick.
