burrito day 4/1 -- APRIL FOOLS!

The BDC (Burrito Day Committee) would like to welcome several newcomers who have recently expressed interest in Burrito Day, and have therefore been added to the Burrito Day invite distribution. Many of these newcomers are trying to understand what Burrito Day is all about. While it's certainly impossible to explain Burrito Day in a few short paragraphs, those who frequent the deck at Chipotle on Friday afternoons may characerize Burrito Day in terms of the Rage - level .....but it's more than that! It's also a matter of respect. Here are a few examples from this past week which clearly illustrate this point:

1) A few members of the BDC had the privilege of attending GLR training this past Wednesday morning at 8 am! In true BDC form, these members began socializing at the beginning of class, as there were many important stories to share. One of these members, who along with sharing a name similar to that of a former Iraqi dictator also experiences a high level of RAGE, was in classic talkative form early in the training. The instructor was clearly annoyed by this behavior, and presumably wanted to set a quiet standard early his presentation. During one outburst, the instructor immediately turned to our favorite Department Manager, and gave him an immediate 'SSHHHH' in one sudden movement. I immediately feared for this poor man's life. The ACS dictator's eyes drifted in my direction, and I could immediately sense the gallons of flaming HOT rage boiling from deep within. This instructor had obviously crossed the line......

2) A few other members of the BDC also had the privilege of attending SCCB in the afternoon of this same day. SCCB's have recently become quite heated as many difficult decisions have come to a forefront -- this is no problem, as everyone wants to do what is right. However, at this specific SCCB, the line was certainly crossed. One heralded member of the BDC -- i.e. the newly-named Sledgehammer -- was presenting a controversial SCR, which people were respectfully discussing. Out of nowhere, a disrespectful tone abruptlty shot out from the end of the table. Like talking to his own 10-year old son, this individual attacked the Sledgehammer, implying that this BDC member's knowledge was less than adequate. Was this young individual serious? Did he know who he was messing with? Somehow, the Sledgehammer managed to keep his wits about him, but I fear that if this SCCB attendee raises his voice again, the consequences could be much more dire! God rest his soul.....

Clearly, these two stories demonstrate a certain level of disrespect directed toward the BDC community. This is unexpectable! ..and should be considered rule #1 when dealing with the BDC.
