I know nothing about vampire lore; but I do love the character. He’s a hoot! You’re right - all the details around him are great

To me, not so much white people, as City Folk. As a farm kid, I’ve seen all the pick your own, organic stuff I care to see. I love the farmer’s market; I just don’t want to be out in the sweltering hot field picking okra while my arms breakout from the spines.

In design school we’re taught exactly this..how to give real constructive criticism and how to receive it. (even when it is poorly stated, which is most of the time) The best constructive feedback is a dialog between creator and observer.

I think burnout is a growing problem. Especially for those of us who are late in our careers. I’d love to leave my job; but I’ve had no takers after several years of interviews. The idea of training for something different (but still has insurance and pays enough to cover the mortgage) is exhausting.

That’s a hoot because young workers bolt for greener pastures too all the time. Anyone will bolt for a better deal :-) I think they are trying to soften the blow to you. No offense, I’m sure you’d be awesome, given the chance.

I feel like he has no idea what a President is.... 

yup...those are all good points
