Graduation wisdom from my boss
A great conversation I just had with Ted regarding "Kindergarten Graduation"- our designer's daughter "graduated" today, so he took the morning off. Apparently, Kindergarten Graduation is some sort of bullshiit concept that Ted can't wrap his mind around. Here's what he had to say on the topic:
"Kindergarten graduation? What the hell is that? Bah- that's garbage (hand wave in dismissal- walking back towards office door, stops to deliver one final verbal blow). What? Are you going to throw her a damn party? When I went to kindergarten, there were eight of us, and we were at someone's house, it wasn't an accomplishment. (Walking away, shaking head) Kindergarten graduation... nonsense... totally ridiculous..." It's times like these that I will miss when I leave. He's a special kind of guy.

Re: Graduation wisdom from my boss
*SNORT*
I don't even know the guy, but I love him already.
I am right there with him on the subject though.
I agree with him. We celebrate so many little accomplishments (or things that are expected of us or things that don't take any effort other than showing up) that very little has any real value.
Seriously-- I had to attend a daycare graduation once. Complete with caps and gowns, a procession, a slide show, and diplomas. Craziness.
