A Tale of Two Lists

I was given two lists of changes from the client that "occasionally" overlap. Both lists have at least twenty items on them.

"Sorry you will need to go through both, but it was too complex to transfer everything to this list."

"Too complex"?!?! Fuck you.

Deadlines? What are deadlines?

I'm only a few minor tweaks away from finishing a month long project and the Creative Director decides to scrap what we have to try out a completely different method of accomplishing the exact same thing. The deadline is today.

It's All About the Money

A customer often comes to the movie theater I work at. He's a racist middle-aged bald man with turrets syndrome and he loves talking about Jews. My manager never kicks him out because he has money.

Shirt Pants

There's a customer that often comes to the movie theater I work at. Picture Santa Claus, but wearing a t-shirt for pants. He likes to talk to the person working at the box office about God. Today, that was me.

Whistle While You Work

A bum frequently likes to walk into the movie theater I work at. He looks and smells like rotting garbage and communicated with us using a whistle. I don't speak whistle and I can't get him to leave.
