train in vain

[extemporanea]

Today was distinguished by complete handout-construction panic in pursuit of the three training meetings I am running in the next two days, and was interrupted by (a) a meeting that was pointless because I know all about everything that was covered, and (b) a meeting that was pointless because everyone else should have damned well known all about

It was, of course, perfectly ridiculous and infested with irritating Tom Cruise, which did indeed function nicely as catharsis for bad day. But a lot of its ridiculousness was also wildly entertaining. Throwing Tom Cruise off enormous phallic Dubai towers ftw. Hawkeye hanging in mid air over giant fans ft extra w, and he does look nice in a suit. Gratuitous fight in automated parking garage particularly fun because it whumped on Tom Cruise a lot. Random brief Josh Holloway appearance rather decorative. Jeremy Renner is growing on me at mach speeds, must see Bourne Legacy stat. Ridiculous fancy tech is ridiculous and fancy and I love it. All in all, performed as expected on all fronts, i.e. not very well but entertainingly :>.
