Fuck!! Safety meetings. How he absolutely hated them!! He dreaded the eternal sitting which was not good for his back and the endless chatter. The boss "Jackass" always promised they would be short and sweet, but somehow it never worked out that way.
There was a buzz in the office as he walked in that morning, something about a consultant giving the presentation. He walked into the meeting room and sat towards the back as he usually did. He was not one for socializing and kept to himself most of the time. That's why he loved riding his motorcycle, the quietness, the time it gave him to his thoughts; the absolute control he showed on his bike demonstrated the control he commanded in his life.
As he sat down and waited for the meeting to start one of his other coworkers walked in and walked to the back and sat down beside him. Frank thought to himself, oh here comes the small talk. It was shortly before 8:00 and hopefully, they would start on time today. The boss walks in at 8 and says that they have a consultant coming in to discuss some new safety features. She walks in and turns to look at the men. As she begins her speech she slowly walks around the room. She carries an air of arrogance with her; she has to so that she is able to do her job in a predominantly male world that she works in. She makes her way around to the back of the room as she talks. There are a few men sitting back off to themselves. She notices one man, in particular, sitting in the back.
