I am an Executive. Now What?

Now these are just a couple of things I have learned, they do not apply to the guy who is trying to cure a horrible disease, or feeds all the hungry, or gave his arm to the coffee bean picker who lost his limb in a coffee grinding accident. This is for the rest of us.  The one's that work at a company, the company that has 12 meetings to discuss the meeting, and if in the meeting and the important people in the meeting are there you have to also speak at the meeting and of course always attend the meetings with the important people even if the meeting is about squeezing the anal glands of the neighbors giraffe.  If you are an executive, or are on your way, or think your on your way...remember

1. What you are doing is unimportant.  No one cares if your product/service/craft/assbuckle has one more facing in the H&B isle; or increases market share by nearly a point; or brings out the emotion at the right time of the 30 second spot airing on the new "it" show.  In fact no one cares about the new 'it' show.
2. The others in the meeting with you, if they did not know you, and saw you at the grocery store (or the whatever it is you go to) would think you are a tool.
3. You are a tool.
4. Most of the people in the meeting with you, care what you think about them.  In fact, if they make a mistake, or you somehow don't look at them, or say their name, or make them feel somehow accepted - will have a small panic attack inside their head.  Talk too much to their colleagues and rush home and yell at their kids, tell their spouse what an amazing mound of fart-dust they are and potentially sleep less than 5 minutes.
5. It is a job.  If it defines you...what are those people that live in the same house as you there for?
6. It would be nice when one of your folks is giving a presentation - if you didn't wonder aloud if the table your sitting at is made of oak, or maple. 
7. What happens when you realize you have reached the highest rung you'll ever reach and you've got 20 more years to work? 
8. Please stop doing outlandish, absurd things in meetings because you are so important that the rules simply do not apply to you.  Douche.
