Ignorance may just be bliss

I'm having a huge debate with myself about who's possibly more boring: doctors or lawyers?

Any gathering that involves these types of professionals usually end up in a snore fest.

Last month I worked an event that involved CLOs of all major companies you can possibly think of. Although I wasn't handing out information of any sort, I was seated comfortably in a corner, listening (aka sleeping with my eyes open) to the keynote speakers.

From what I learned, we don't need lawyers. There are enough lawyers in this world and free legal advice you can get from the internet.

Then about two weeks ago, I worked a radiology convention for a very well known company. I arrived on time everyday, abso-fucking-lutely clueless as to my existence for this event. They never told me what to do or gave any direction for my purpose at the event. So I stood around in a corner saying "hi" to EVERY radiologist for 8 agonizing hours for 4 days. While all the radiologists were soaking in new information, I guarded the booth like a little puppy. Every single time those doctors would exit out of their meetings to grab snacks, I would hope they would linger over my booth just to make small talk. I wanted to get lost in conversation. However, since I've become completely brain dead during the show, I wasn't able to conjure up anything remotely interesting. So I talked about the weather...

I don't know what's worse either. Getting sexually harassed by creepers or everyone ignoring you for 8 solid hours.

I think I'd opt to get sexually harassed. It makes for interesting stories.
