Why do employers go out of their way to make your job more irritating?
Some people really get off on exercising power over others. They enjoy it greatly. It is (I’d argue) even erotically charged for them. That alone explains at least 70% of the RTO push. A lot of office sociopaths lost their ability to have others grovel to them and they want it back at any cost.
All it is.
IT is a good job, but it’s difficult and here’s why: You basically have to learn a bachelor’s degree worth of new shit every 2-3 years to stay relevant. A lot of people can’t hang with that and I understand why. It’s really a huge lift and it never stops.
No one talks about that till you’re already in the field, though. It’s about the only job the above is true of and it’s pretty insane when you think about it.
I left Austin to teach in Vietnam. I feel safer here and have no plans to move back to Texas.
Texas is a fucking hellhole. It’s one of the worst places I’ve ever been — if not the worst — and I’ve walked through very dangerous neighborhoods in Cairo. I’ve never encountered more aggressive rudeness than I have in Texas, and I never willingly go to that state if I can at all help it.
Texas is one of the most terrible places on the planet. God, what a shitty state.
Triangle messed with my mind more than any other movie I’ve seen.
Great film. Melissa George is excellent in this, best performance of her career. Just such a tight well-played little gem; one of my favorites, both because it’s so capably written and because the protagonist, Jess, is not a fool — even if she does make mistakes because she doesn’t understand what is happening.
One of the few I will probably watch again.
