One of the execs called a big meeting of all the shift managers, no exceptions, didn't say what it was about.

It's tomorrow at 2 and it's supposed to last 10 minutes.

Thing is, I'm working the night shift today and tomorrow (so 10 PM till 6 AM), which means I have to wake up earlier than I'd like to, spend 20+ minutes driving to work, listen to some probably shit news and demands and then drive back home for another 20+ minutes. And then come in for the night shift some 7 hours later.

Unless the news out of the meeting are great (and I very very much doubt they will be anything approaching good even) I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a very shitty day. And that is sort of spilling over into today. Wasn't in the best of moods, finally managed to get out and enjoy the sunshine after like four days of nothing but work and sleep and now comes this to kick any potential good vibes right in the nuts.

Wasn’t the bridge a demand from students though, after someone got killed crossing the highway?

IIRC, the way that a board chooses which company to contract, is that every company that wants in on the deal places a bid for the job. The board then chooses which bid to take; they don't necessarily need to take the low bid, because they might argue that the companies which placed the higher bids do better-quality work. This sometimes leads to corruption where a company bribes one or several of the trustees to take their bid, and then repays them later with a kickback, which gets mixed into their normal income streams to not arouse suspicion.

ACE. Just ACE. A Markov chain generator would produce more coherent posts.

The guy's just a troll. He'll get banned soon. It is inevitable.
