Only read Gyo and Uzumaki aka The Spiral Obsession (plus a few shorts) so far but and liked both of them. But out of those two you should really read Uzumaki, that shit is too good.
I ain’t about that tunnel fare life, man. That would be $12 a day each time I go into my office. That’s $36 a week, $144 a month. That’s not including having to buy a car, learning how to drive it well, maintenance, insurance, and all that other nonsense associated with being a car owner. I won’t even get into the headache of finding a park spot at home.
Yeah, it MIGHT cut my commute time by about 70 minutes, but it might also extend it since lol tri-state traffic.
I did want to buy this 125cc motorcycle from a dude on my block, but he says he uses it and the scooter for work. Shame because it’s a perfect bike for getting around Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Meetings at work-- I actually love those since it gets me away from my normal day-to-day responsibilities for a little while… it’s going from a situation where there’s 6,000 things going on every 2 minutes to a situation where I just have to sit in a conference room and listen to other people speak for about 30-45 minutes…maybe take a few notes here and there…and chiming in once or twice so that I am on record as having “participated” in it…hell yeah that’s preferable to my normal work stuff.
*edit–haha I’m still randomly laughing about that shit-swastika that was mentioned in the news…someone actually drew it with dookie…oh man… I wonder about the technique that was used…like perhaps they wiped their ass then used the shit on that paper to draw the swastika? Or…perhaps they actually held a turd like it was a magic marker!? :lol:
Meetings, once they are over about 4 or 5 people, become useless. Lately my meetings have been about work so they’ve been productive, but in the past I’ve had meetings where I could take naps and no one would notice.
I remember a very brief stint as a staff writer for a Jersey paper we would have meetings once a week to determine that week’s stories. My first time in I was asked what 6 major stories I was working on. I said, “I just started so I have, like, one. Did the person who left this post leave it without possible leads on anything? How irresponsible is that?” Turns out, that person quit long before my time and the managing editor had just been taking snippets from other towns and plastering it on my beat’s section. Good shit. For the rest of that meeting I just ate my bagel and doodled on my notepad.
i find meetings only useful for projects at the beginning/planning stage and as a recap. perhaps emergency meetings when shit goes south. but trivial stuff? yawn
