Charlie is the one where you can't tell if he's got a giant head, a tiny face, or both.

I'm okay with ads (just like on broadcast TV), but only if I'm not paying for the streaming/VOD service (just like on broadcast TV). Like, I'm okay with ads on a YouTube video, but I got rid of Netflix when they cancelled a series I liked and, now that they've started talking about adding ads, I'll probably not go back.

Micromanagement and the need to take credit for work other people do. Of all the incompetent bosses I've had over the years, micromanagers are the worst and all of the micromanagers for whom I've worked have been men.

It's like, dude, you hired me because I know more about doing this task than other people (including you). Stop hovering over me, when I need your input I'll come get you. Just let me fucking cook. I know what I'm talking about and what I'm going... you employ me specifically because I know what I'm talking about and what I'm doing.

I guess their thought process goes: if I'm not hovering over this person at all times, the company might figure out I don't know 100% of 100% of everything my employees do day to day... even though that's insane. What company would require a manager to know absolutely everything about how their employees do their jobs; a manager obviously shouldn't be completely in the dark about operations but also it's crazy to think they'd want them to be an expert on everything.

I've got a working Intellivision which was originally released in 1979. Mine was fresh off the factory floor in 84, I think that was the last year it was made.

Our current death panel is just "well, she can't afford it"... just as American Jesus wants.

Also, when someone shows you who they truly are, believe them the first time. I've become a person for whom respect is not earned, it is only ever lost. Everyone I know and meet, I try to respect the same as I would any other person... but, once you've lost that respect, I find it truly hard to give the benefit of the doubt and restore that faith.

American comedian Ron White frequently tells a story about how his van was damaged in a comedic way by the technicians at a Sears Automotive Center in Savannah, GA. This week, that Sears Automotive Center is being torn down. While the shopping mall that former Sears location is a part of is otherwise doing well, the Sears has been closed for years. The department store end-cap building and the car service center in its out-parcel property are being demolished to make way for the development of a new apartment complex.

A link to Ron preforming the story for a live audience.

 

No one’s sure how the ambitious bandits made off with the heavy steel structure, WJLX station general manager Brett Elmore told WBRC.
