That's the goal currently. Except with the current market and not wanting to jump to a new company doing the same crap I'm kinda stuck.

I'd feel bad leaving but mostly to the people I like. The people I directly report to I'd feel nada.

Dress code is such a weird area too. I interned for the company my mom works for, a tropical/luxury travel company, and in the second year I had interned they outlawed wearing sandals on casual Fridays. No sandals at a company that sells vacations. The reasoning was that they may have clients (ie people from hotel…

I'm sort of in the same position (though sans the offers). I'd really like something better but I've been here almost a year and a half so I feel like I owe it to them to stick it out.

My first thought exactly. :c

Pretty much. Highly sad on both accounts there.

Thank you! It's so very true. All these "adults" these days say the kids are a bunch of lazy entitled pricks yet they themselves are the most entitled people when they start bitching at a customer service drone like myself.

Or the store has express checkout lanes but never, ever has them open. Or has converted all express lanes into self checkout lanes.

Having gone to a Christian school for K-8 I couldn't help but laugh because that textbook is so spot on with the stupidity of some of the textbooks/excerpts from stuff we had. I think what did it for me on this one is the, "God is saying, 'Although scientists know they are wrong, they refuse to admit it!'" bit. The…

Exactly. That's why we end up with overly drawn out TV shows or bad movies. I wish the NA TV industry were more open to them. Even if they did the series on pay channels or AMC/FX/TNT there'd be less risk I'd think.

That's exactly how I feel about 99% of advice articles. It seems like there are always a handful of people who could make use of it but the rest of us work in such a stereotypical inefficient, crappy office we'd be candidates for Office Space 2.

I swear I had the same boss. She wanted us to check in with her if we so much as moved a pencil but then was always too busy/annoyed with us/the world to care what we said. Then when she'd tell us to do something our way. So when did it she'd come over and complain we did it wrong and not how she wanted it. A way…

Pretty much. Cable's getting pretty good with the big projects and can get by on lower ratings. But alas. Everyone is still stuck on making things into movies.

Yeah, then you don't have to cut out or rework as much.

#9 is very true. Every time a movie based on a book comes out I always think it may have been better as a TV show or mini-series. I still think Scott Pilgrim would have been better as a short-run animated series than a movie.

Very true. The latest campaign I ran I created the entire world from scratch and sort of took the same approach. I knew the basics of the history, how societies worked, etc. but as the group traveled from place to place I had to come up with lore, locations, more specific politics, and all that which was much easier…

I feel the same way about outlines. And I love outlines. I'm a crazy person if I don't plan things but if I'm writing I usually know my start and end points with a few middle points and go from there. I usually end up planning a lot more when I get stuck.

I always think Planet-Sorta-Like-Earth-But-Ain't-No-One-Movin'-In-Any-Time-Soon. Bit longer and grammatically awful but I think it works in my brain.

I know it won't be like TWEWY where your clothes and accessories matter but one can hope.

I loved Daily Lives and reviewed it on mah blog. That show was great because it was so realistic but crazy at the same time. I dunno if they're doing more but I hope so.
