Another networking event. Another mound of inexperienced, green salespeople that don't give a crap about you, trying to sell you something you'll never be able to convince your boss you need while trying to convince you they do in fact care.

Most of my posts are centered around (what I feel is) humor mixed into goofy gifs and pictures. This one will be a bit more serious.
