all hands to the poop deck

[rone]

On Tuesday morning, i got my ass out of bed at 05:45 so i could attend our lovely corporate all-hands.  I managed to lower my expectations to a degree where i actually managed to enjoy the meeting (then again, i've found our all-hands to be rather unpainful, in general).  It boiled down in two phases: our CEO yammered about the news, then their CEO and COO yammered about the news; then the usual suspects (the execs) came out and talked about how well we're doing and how much our upcoming stuff rocks (tritone starred in one of the thrown-together-at-the-last-minute movies about the S00PAR SEKRIT project his team is working on), which naturally made the rest of us wonder, "Why are we putting ourselves over a barrel for Adobe if things are going so well?"

At least we got to see one of the SVPs being given a badly butchered mohawk on stage.
