Heh heh,.....I know the feeling.......just be careful because if you're like me, man, there's nowhere else to go.
Like, you know how for some reason, certain people can take a shit on the floor and then the higher ups say it's a f~%!ing masterpiece! then ask.....other people why they haven't cleaned the shit off the floor yet?

There’s no new ideas under the sun.
Well, at least by this stage you’ll probably find most things borrow elements – intentionally or not, blatantly or subtly, with acknowledgement or not – from something that has come before.
I don’t watch or read a whole lot of anime or manga, so I couldn’t say for certain which bits Joss did or didn’t steal / borrow / coincidently use from that genre. Everything he’s done for all I know, but knowing wouldn’t reduce my enjoyment of it. I can see why people who are familiar with the source material might get annoyed hearing everyone go on about how genius someone is when it appears to them they’ve blatantly ripped off something else, but the way I see it imitation is the highest form of homage. Plus in many cases it actually has the result of introducing a wider audience to the original work; there’s usually at least a small percentage of people who like to educate themselves in that way.

Our baby’s first day of childcare today ... as if in anticipation she didn’t sleep last night, and spent from 8pm until 2am crying anytime she wasn’t being held.
She cried again on being given to the carer this morning, but not as badly as we might have thought. I am so tired today though, and ache all over. Ugh. I don’t feel this bad when I get to bed at 2 after playing Pathfinder, but then I don’t spend most of the night walking around holding a baby, or have to work the next day generally.
If your daycare experience is anything like mine (and most others I've heard about), then be prepared for illness. Charlie was in for about 1 week before he got his first cold.

Spoilered in case anyone is eating breakfast...
I grab the kid to get him out of his PJs, and all of a sudden the smell hits me. Good Lord! How can such a small body hold that much poop?

I stole my whole pbp from anime.
And um......The Herculoids cartoon.
That's Hanna Barbara, so it's not really manga.....
Heh. Me, too. Minus the Herculoids part. Not that that doesn't make good inspiration, just didn't use it this time.
Anime and manga make great inspiration material especially if you're willing to play fast and loose with rules. :)

wow, those are some weird names. Do they have mascots to go along with them?
Some people just don't see anything wrong with weird names/mascots. While visiting sc, I was informed that the gamecocks were the greatest team ever, and encouraging this belief was directly related to my ongoing good health and ability to walk.| Bitter Thorn |

I had a friend in public accounting that was given "priorities" from 6 different supervisors...who all knew that their priority was higher than any of the other five's priorities. She finally told them all to get together, go through they things they wanted her to do, and prioritize them together.
They came back to her with a 7 day/wk schedule...22 hours / day were assigned to different supervisors.
She quit not long after.
Classic. I see the same kind of thing happen to salaried employees with disturbing regularity. Important and rush projects get increasingly piled on the harder working employees because they are important, but the slackers are, in effect, rewarded by having the extra work go to better employees.

Just got pulled into a "meeting" with my boss about the deficiencies that were brought up in the last "meeting" I had with my supervisor on Friday. I was pulled into this meeting while I was physically in the process of trying to handle one of the items brought up in the last meeting on Friday. Apparently I am supposed to work on Saturday and Sunday to address things even though we are closed. Either that or being yelled at about something is more important than actually fixing it.
I've had enough. I'm looking for work elsewhere. I'm truly disgusted that it has come to this and I will try to leave with grace as I have could use the referral /reference. But enough is enough. Every decision I make can't be the wrong one *every* time. When "prioritize" becomes code for "work faster/be in two places at once" something is wrong.
Sorry; I definitely feel ya!
Just keep it cool because it's easier to get a new job if you have a job......
I know you prolly know that.You are right of course and I have cooled down a bit. I'm going to try to address as many of these discrepancies as possible in the coming days, I should have everything taken care of by the end of the month. As usual, but that's not something my supervisor or boss want to hear.
My supervisor met with me at the end of the day today, apologetic for what happened with my boss. She wanted to make sure I was okay and get my thoughts on the issue. I was brutally honest when I said I felt like being yelled at was more important than actually trying to fix anything, and that I really didn't have a chance to do anything over the weekend. She apologized and tried to strategize new ways of handling things with me, and told me her door was always open, etc. But she's really just driving another nail into the coffin here. As I said before, I'm tired of being treated like I'm always wrong, and "prioritize" meaning "be psychic and know what I want you to do and how I...
I truly feel your pain on this, but I think we all know that I have issues with authority. ;)
It seems that sometimes no matter how skilled or hard working you are you just have to take your talent elsewhere to be appreciated.
I wish you the best of luck finding a better opportunity!
