Oh good. So I wasnt the only one who read the minutes and thought "What the cock is that shit?!" And I thought it was just cause I was already pissed off about other stuff. I second your le sigh.
Aw Josiah, don't let the youngins get ya down. Lunch Thursday? I have a prod meeting at 2 but I'm free before that. We can bitch and moan about back in our day when we stayed up all night painting banners and laying fiber optic and trying to keep John Head from exploding. It'll be fun.
I spent time from Australia reading them, and then they got me annoyed, and then there were so many useless comments regarding tech stuff that I was all confused, then I reread who wasnt there and I was less confused. Though the publicity comment annoyed me the most (even though I'm sure it was a joke) regarding the PubMan not leaving for a week. Um, yeah, lets plan beforehand on not having any completely unforseen family crises. (And I'm still sorry about the tech requirements- maybe I should have listened when people told me finishing my thesis and being in a show was a bad idea. Oooo- why dont we put that in a guide somewhere? ;-)) Anyway, I should go pet some koalas or something. That's my Australian 5 cents. (It can't be 2, because the smallest denomination they have is 5)
I'm assuming that "don't leave the country" was a comment made by Carlos himself, so it falls into the obvious-and-doesn't-really-help-anyone-that-you-wrote-it-down category, instead of the incredibly-insensitive category.
> "We shouldn't do hard shows over IAP". Last year we heard that apparently Reefer shouldn't have been done over IAP...
Wait, so last year there was a comment about not doing hard shows over IAP... and then Cibbo & Maria proposed WOODZ anyway? Please tell me it came in dead last.
As for the scheduling and tech no-shows, two of my all-star number-one theater pet peeves are actors who don't fully disclose conflicts and directors who ignore conflicts while casting. From my limited experience, the latter is much more of a problem in MTG (and MIT theater in general) than the former.
I don't know if the above paragraph is at all relevant. But it felt good to complain about.
Glad my anger is amusing

Nah, I'm finding it pretty funny too. I think in general I'd refrain from writing an angry LJ post if it was otherwise.
Maybe my life needs more pissed-off-sarcastic posting... but most of the humorous angst in my life recently has been covered by an NDA.
"So you're saying that, six years in, there's no product, we haven't really made any progress in two years, mostly twiddled our thumbs up our asses... oh! What if we move to California? Combined with judiciously hiding the truth, that might get people to give us more money!" Huh... if I'd know it was that easy to solve problems, maybe I would have started in management instead of engineering.
If I post this while at my desk at work, then it's an official company blog, right?
