You really want to see someone walk in and announce "all your jobs have been shipped to Pakistan, don't bother coming in tomorrow" and hear the "this is so unfair" whining from the slackers suddenly cut loose from what had amounted to endless paid vacations.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-6330839218029060642012-02-04T21:11:13.458-08:002012-02-04T21:11:13.458-08:00Exactly like the idealistic dot com hopefuls of th...Exactly like the idealistic dot com hopefuls of the 90s. What, getting rich takes *time* and *work*?!?! Dude, TV never mentioned that! xp The younger generations entering the workplace in the past ten years or so have had trouble understanding why they can't take a vacation a few months after starting somewhere, and they expect to rise quickly in the ranks. Great job their education did, preparing them for the real world. NOT!RogueFiccerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771057308264812757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-56292107772724849122012-02-04T18:40:47.210-08:002012-02-04T18:40:47.210-08:00I guess they ran out of time before they could get...I guess they ran out of time before they could get around telling us how this all "Revolutionizes the way we live." Because I don't see a whole lot of "living" going on here, and I sure as hell don't see anything I'd call "Revolutionary."John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-42573830267942593612012-02-04T18:36:27.343-08:002012-02-04T18:36:27.343-08:00These people remind me of that crowd of wistful, s...These people remind me of that crowd of wistful, self-important dopes who all thought that they were going to become internet millionaires in the late-90s by creating the Perfect Website, and ended up back in their parents' basements because they never bothered to learn the skills which would have qualified them to do actual, paying work. I just wish they would all wander in front of speeding trains while staring at their fricking phones and make the world a slightly lighter, but far less annoying, place to live.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-4618754219866308012012-02-04T15:41:02.465-08:002012-02-04T15:41:02.465-08:00I'm...completely non-plussed.

Ripping off graffiti and calling that work brasses me off because, a) you're ripping off someone's work (finding the artist and getting their permission could be difficult, but they seem oblivious to the concept of use with permission and that's the problem) and b) talking like they're actually working. So what if you can doodle on it during a meeting? Oh, yeah, you're *really* working. I predict Glow will go under in short order.RogueFiccerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771057308264812757noreply@blogger.com
