I will not miss this dumb job when I make my escape.

Ithis dumb job is helping you on your way to ER.

to be one of the dancing monkeys on a panel discussion so that the brain dead automatons who are in the role of officers can pretend they are thinking
Well, I got several stares and managed to head off comments with a lame excuse. Damn, am I glad that is over.
One of my favorite parts of my job is walking into the board room or executive suite to talk about something with the CEO, COO, CFO, General Counsel, etc, having thick red clay mud on my steel toe boots.
LOL....a dramatic ER!It would have been great if you could have had them play "these boots are made for walkin'" as you left the conference room....
Hmmm. No reason a hiking boot can't look all spiffy. We did that all the time back in... boot camp.

Traveling while ill. I arrived on my trip this week with the tail end of a nasty cold that had sidelined me for the better part of a week. Last night I got hit with a stomach virus that is going around my destination (coworker, his wife, and all 4 kids got hit with it a day before I did). Now I am laying in the hotel room with my head pounding and feeling like I am about to burst into flame (fever) and wondering how it is going to go when I try to get home tomorrow.
That is the worst! I prescribe Tylenol and lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol. If you are still really sick tomorrow (especially with a GI tract that has a mind of its own) consider staying put and calling the hotel physician. There is no journey more miserable than one where you need the bathroom constantly. It's not fair to other travelers either.
Lately, I've been taking issue with these pompous, entitled little jerks that try to walk right through you in the hallway, like you don't even exist. In fact, just a few minutes ago, I was coming out of our kitchen, with a glass of chocolate milk in hand, and a woman walking towards me, instead of staying to her right decided she wanted "her half out in the middle" as my Granddad used to say. Ended up barely grazing me, and she's lucky she didn't end up with a milk bath, because I had the glass in that hand!
And, she just kept right on walking, no "excuse me" "pardon me" or anything.
I know it's minor and petty, but I look at it as some kind of power trip when people do that. Unless they're really just THAT absent-minded, that a 6'3", 200 pound person just doesn't register with their vision?!
Heh, heh, if that's the worst part of your j*b, I would be thankful.).
But, to answer your implied question: There are folks who are, indeed, that absent minded. However, I do find (just me personally - not lobbing a hand grenade here) that younger folks (20's to 30's) seem to have more of a self-important, self absorbed attitude.
