I just bumped into one of the Masters after God on the stairs and rather than simply shrugging insolently when he tried to engage me in coversation, I actually spoke to him - hey, can I help if it I'm going through a communicative, extrovert phase? Our dialog may or may not have been similar to the following:

MaG: Do you know if anyone is going to The Meeting?
Me: No, but I know that none of the scientists wanted to go.
MaG: Well, I really think we should send someone. It'll look bad if no one goes...
[ significant pause and serious stare ]
Me: [brightly] Ok, well I'll be sure to mention that to my boss when I see him, I think he's still in...

You hear that sound? The one that sounds like a rushing of water? That's my prospect for a career as a middle manager being flushed down the crapper. I feel strangely liberated all of a sudden, as of the lifting of a heavy burden...
