On coming Facility Manager wants change and professionalism.

Meaning: Dress code enforced, painting and changing of offices, I need a new desk which costs me my office in the back for the one up front with the client files and the loss of my comfy little cave away from the clients and the ability to "supervise" the tech.s. Sucks. But at the same time I'm gonna throw out a ton of stuff I'm tired of looking at.

Too conflicted and need caffeine.

Stupid craps. What's up with people rolling 7s anyway?

Really I didn't lose too much. I stayed well under my limit and got to eat some cotton candy and see Firefly on Universal HD. That's a successful trip in my book.

It was ok. Would have been better to have won at least for a little while or if my brother wasn't so pretentious. But what can you do? I did get to see a lot of skanked up chicks walking around. That's mostly fun. I was sitting next to a southern dude on the flight back who was going on about how those girls momma's need to have a talk with them. It was funny.

Being shushed so that he can enjoy the "beautiful music" just because the Bellagio is playing something Italian. He also gets very upset if you do or say anything in public that might possibly reflect poorly on him. Cause everyone knows you need to be concerned with the opinions of random people in Vegas who aren't even paying any attention to you.

This is sorta his standard. I don't know where it came from and it doesn't tend to work well for him. I think you make much better friends by being genuine then you do by trying to tell them what you think they want to hear. For instance he was talking about how when he went to Spain with his wife he was telling everyone there that he was Canadian so they wouldn't think badly of him. Such a tool.

Well, I'm borrowing a box at the moment. We're having our whole central heating and kitchen replaced, and it turns out all the pipes run under my study. Hence, floor up, and no computer. Since I am in the middle of working on a couple of FF pieces, having been out of the BSR for a while, this sucks.

So I just saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night. Very hilarious IMO. It wasn't really what I expected, but it was good. There are some very outrageous scenes though. Actually a lot of the laughter comes from outrageous stuff just blind siding you. Still I recommend it to anyone over 18.

Anybody else seen it yet? What did you think?

Saw it over the weekend too. Loved it. Definitely an "over 18" movie though, heh.

Do you think it would be anywhere near as good if you saw it again later? I'm just thinking that I have too good of a memory and I'd be all "oh yeah outrageous thing coming up right now" and it would lose the funny.

I think all the Aptow movies are best the first time. Waiting a year or more before seeing it again can make the gags fresh, but seeing it again right away does seem to take something out of the experience.

Though, I did talk to a guy yesterday who played one of the reporters in one of the red carpet scenes (all the reporters were played by real reporters, apparently), and he said he saw it several months ago when they had just finished the final cut, and then again this weekend, and loved it both times. He's probably biased, but there you go.

Thursday, April 24, 2008 9:18 AM

Ok, so here's my question, mostly because I don't really feel like working (today is a telecommuting day, yay!). So I've been consulting with a new company since January, 40+ hours a week. I've become the defacto Lead of my department and in some aspects the lead of the product itself. The company is starting to talk about expanding my department, which would mean hiring a real Lead, but they like things they way they are and so they've offered me the job a couple of times now.

There are a lot of crappy things about this job. There are a couple of people I would never work with again, and some serious issues with the team dynamic created by those people. It's a 75 mile commute each way. Right now I'm driving up 2-3 times a week, but if I was Lead I would need to go up 4-5 times per week. (I'm thinking about buying a new car soon, regardless of what I choose here, because that commute in LA with a stickshift is getting ridiculous.) There's a fair possibility that this thing will crash and burn and go nowhere, but I'm actually ok with that kind of uncertainty.

There are also a lot of good things about this job. For the most part, I *love* the people I work with. First time ever that I can really count most of the people I work with as friends. My boss is one of the first female role models I've ever had in this industry, and she and I work really really well together. I like the product we're working on, and each day that goes by the product has more "me" in it. If it takes off, it'll be huge, and if I take the job my name will be listed front and center on it. I would negotiate for a larger salary than I'm making as an independent contractor, and get stock options. The title would probably give me more leverage to shut up the few people who are really bugging me (but not enough to eliminate the problem completely). Taking the job would also be really good for my career in the long run.

But I kinda like being an independent contractor, and knowing that I can say "screw this" and leave whenever I want. And I'm worried a bit about my continued health, being able to continue to do the work through the stress and long hours. The drive worries me. I've also been pretty close to quitting a couple of times, because of the aforementioned shittiness.

So what do you guys think? Should I bite the bullet for the chance of fame and fortune -- well, for my name as Lead on the thing I've been leading anyway, and a slightly larger salary -- despite the shittiness and the drive? Or should I stick to my "hired gun" ways?

~CK

You can't take the sky from me...

Thursday, April 24, 2008 10:05 AM

Well I know my answer. I'd go for the fame, fortune and stability. It sounds like we're different in the stability department though. I'm perfectly happy doing the same job for a long time and getting set in my ways. I'm a go with the flow type of guy and I don't usually like the flow changing drastically. So, take my advice with a grain of salt.

Also it's strange to me that if you because the lead of a department that you wouldn't be able to totally eliminate the shitty people. I mean where I work a manager who doesn't like you could pretty easily spell your doom. Bad reviews and such tend to do the trick. So, I'd think you could either eliminate the shitty people or force them to get in line if you were their manager.

Now that I'm thinking about it how come you still couldn't jump ship at any time? If your product rocks and you get lots of the credit then you should have a pretty awesome resume. That should give you the ability to jump from job to job if you really want.

Take it. Take it. Take it. And if you don't want it then give it to me :-P
