"I’m sorry but he is a grown man, the mayor of a major city with a skyrocketing crime rate and he sits in line all day for a FREAKIN’ TOY, like some kind of addict."

Apparently, neither of you have ever managed anything. Competent managers set the aganda, delegate responsibilities, and remain available for contact re developments.

No doubt, the Mayor had his Blackberry with him. IOW, he was effectively "at work" while standing in line.

Your disdain for Apple and its latest development is very thinly veiled, indeed. Grow up.

“Thinly veiled?” I’m not working hard enough, then. What’s not thinly veiled and quite obvious is the obsessive cult-worship some people have for any toy with a lower case ‘i” in front of it.

Funny you suggest I “grow up” when I chastise a grown man, an elected official on the taxpayer’s dime, for sitting in line all day waiting for a toy.

For you info, I recently started a property management company, which I care about. I prefer to be there because I actually give a damn, unlike this POS “mayor”.

Hogwash! He can go get his toy on his day off or take a day of leave if he needs it that badly. Personally, I don’t even find the amount of time he wasted waiting for his toy nearly as disturbing as his desire for instant gratification of the latest gadget.
