They're spending all your time networking and promoting. Not making Art. You're basically back to doing a crappy job anyway. Of course I liked doing the creative stuff, but hated the business side of deadlines, promotion, presentations, and networking. (and guess which one took up more of my time?) Turning what you love into a job can be a curse. You end up hating what you used to love.

I've done both. What I've found is that the opposite can also be quite fulfilling. I prefer the regular paychecks to art and destitution. Making money frees you up to do a lot more things. You have options. Time maybe short, but the quality sure has improved since I made the switch. You can either spend all of your time in the basement exploring yourself, or find yourself sitting at the Louvre admiring the masterpieces. I preferred the latter. If you choose to make furniture, you better be sure that's really what you want to do forever, because leaving that job closed all other options. Most people either burn out or lose interest doing "projects". Then they're screwed, and become a burden on the rest of us. (and for the record, having to ask your parents for rent money at +30yrs old sucks worse than going to that crappy job.)

The key to getting appreciated for your job is to take time off. After a while, your boss starts assuming that your job is too easy because you're doing it so well. So you need to remind them just how hard you work. Especially when they have to bring in three people to cover you. The boss notices. It's quite satisfying to see coworkers sigh in relief when they see that you're back. I've gotten hugs. "This job is very difficult to do, I just make it look easy."

Another class of Bartenders, Waiters, and Baristas enter the work force. They seriously need to start printing Starbucks applications on the back of Liberal arts Degrees.

It's simpler than that. Just add pressure sensors to pads. Or include the chips in player as well. (elbow or knee hit's 0.00 elevation, then he's down. )Forward Progess is easy to track. The only exception is if the player voluntarily goes backwards, which is only ruled when it's blatantly obvious anyway. At that point the computer can track when he started going forward again. Baseball has the same problem. There is technology to get rid of the umpires, but people just want the drama of bad calls. Just look at judges in Tennis being able to over-rule a laser.

It's actually a really smart business decision. The Bloods just signed him to a long-term contract.

THat article actually lists only two reasons. The 1st reason is repeated three times, just explained in more detail.

I tried having discussions with millienials (college students) and what I found is that they don't know much beyond the headlines. You try to talk details and they get confused. The really passionate ones immediately start with personal insults: "Racist, homophobe, Elitist...." rather than trying to refute the facts. One even told me that my "fact" was "proven wrong" because she couldn't find it in a google search. I actually had to find the article myself and show it to her; which she then rebutted by saying that "not everything you find on the internet is true," which I found ironic since her entire ideology is based around comments she reads off social media. (She readily admitted that she rarely bothers to even click on the links to read the full article- just headlines)

They should pass a law making illegal guns against the law to own.

Conservatives don't have to do any of the things Dorkington has listed. All they have to do is to wait for those young people to mature, get a career, and start a family. The majority of his list will actually keep people enslaved to the liberal agenda even longer. You don't attract more conservatives by becoming liberal, that just means they recruited you to their side.

The one I hear the most is that conservatives are giving money to charities who don't really "need" donations. The people don't know how to properly re-distribute their own money.

People like her are the reason why many of these laws promoting "social justice" don't work because they are based on exercising common sense. A nurse who can't handle stress and anxiety? How about a fire-fighter in a wheelchair too....

I remember reading an article about how the typical liberal is stuck in a bubble. ...the average liberal is raised by left-leaning parents, attend a left-leaning public school system, watch left-leaning hollywood movies and tv shows, go to left-leaning universities, and end up working in left-leaning coffee shops after graduation. Jon Stewart is the most conservative opinion they hear. Don't blame them for getting angry once the bubble is burst. Many prefer to stay in it.

That could be where this is headed. But then, they'll just be paying someone else (who makes a lot more than minimum wage) to be a janitor for a day/hour. I think It might be fun to use a floor buffer while getting paid overtime.

On a similar topic... ...they voted to raise the local minimum wage in November. (unrelated)The company decided to reduce janitorial services to once a week from every day; bought bigger trashcans. The bin in the only copy/mail room is about the same size as a xerox machine. By the end of the week, it weighed around 300lbs. (I would guess) It's week two and the can is over-flowing because they didn't (couldn't) empty it last Friday. Probably need a forklift to move it now. (it doesn't even wobble if you give it a flying kick) Today, someone dragged a second (empty) trash can into the room. I'm actually curious to see how this develops.

The comic book store owner needs to sell his yacht and stop hoarding the profit's. Make him pay his fair share!

So the Obamacare mandate was about imparting a little wisdom? Maybe the Carbon Tax should be voluntary.

Gellar was trolling muslims. Liberals want to ban trolls. The Internet is doomed. You must really hate social media.

The Seahawk scouts were distracted with Youtube videos of kittens playing with boobs when they tried to use Google.

I wore a pedometer to work one day and found that I walked close to 3miles a day. (most of which occurred within a 15ft path back and forth) I wonder how much more money I make using the company's carpet as a treadmill.

I talked to a New Hire at work who believes that the uninsured penalty is cumulative; based on the number of offenses. (ie, $95 for your first offense, $200 for the 2nd, etc) He actually has a plan to stop paying for insurance (2-3yrs from now to attend grad school full time), assuming that he would be able to afford the cost of the 1st/2nd penalties. I tried to explain it to him, but he didn't believe me. I have no doubt that Obamacare won't need to make things better (or even hit any of it's promised goals), but will instead be credited with preventing the destruction of civilization; The same way the Porkulus kept the country from becoming a third world country. The media spin will be that "things could've been worse."

Isn't a "Knight" strictly a Caucasian Euro-centric title? An Asian Cowboy would actually be offensive. Would they be willing to change the mascot (per game) to a Samurai? An Indian Brave? An Islamic Jihadist? Black Jesus does not approve.

I would like to say that I admire the rioter caught on video stealing huggies diapers. Unlike the rest, this guy was looking out for his kids.

Who would ever guess that trying to split the paltry viewing audience of MSNBC would not turn out well. Someone should have mentioned to these foreign Journalists that American Liberals like their news to come from Comedians.

If he's going to succeed, It's going to be someplace like Buffalo where it's far away from the partying life.
