We're being unsubtly pressured to spend the training budget, and today it was my turn to trade the office for a seminar room for a couple of days.
After an acrimonious exchange with the training agency's espresso machine (I'm a simple soul who drinks instant), I take my seat in the training room and OH MY GOD THE COW-ORKER IS IN THE SAME COURSE AND WHY IS THIS EVEN HAPPENING???
(On the bright side, though, it seems the Cow-orker/Stress Fiend/Invertebrate perpetual motion machine of pain is still paying dividends.
