DO ANYBODY NO GOOD CRAZY DANCES?! It's time for a crazy dance sequel, shooting next week. Name or describe your favorite crazy dances, music videos, etc. I will attempt *anything*, so go nuts. Music suggestions also welcome. Please help :) - http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Without the one-take restriction and logistical difficulties, Crazy Dance 2.0 can incorporate a lot more. The setting will be less interesting (Florida) so I need lots of crazy dances!

Stanky Leg or Dougie. DO IT.

What part of Florida?
- Eric Logan
Orlando & South Florida, maybe Tally, and a mystery destination... dunno where I'll shoot yet, also welcoming suggestions on that. I figure space shuttle, maybe disney? If we go camping in the glades like we've been discussing (me + dad), there will be swamp dancing.

Typical business strategy conversation: Me: "Fact." CEO: "But I believe contrary delusion." Me: "Okay, but fact cleverly disguised as question?" CEO: "No, I think crazy belief." Me: "Well, factual limitation due to living in reality." CEO: "I think they can do insert crazy fantasy here." Me: "Well, fact fact fact but I don't know much."

Everyone else: Silence. But seriously, the way my boss thinks that if he can conceive of something, it must be possible and everyone should do it, is almost kind of awesome. He should be a Disney Imagineer. Well, until his crazy dreams don't magically come true and he "logically" concludes that means everyone is lazy/incompetent/out to get him.

IN 4.66667 HOURS I AM GOING ON VACATION FOR A WHOLE WEEK. There's still time for my boss to take it away, but it looks like we're a go for launch. I will get to see my family. My home. It's been years. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT, FF.

Now that I think about it, this is the first week-long vacation I've ever taken since working. No wonder it's hard to feel excited, it doesn't feel real. Especially with so many people out of work right now :(

I agree - this years holiday vacations are going to be a bit strange.

I'm taking next week off, too! Though I'm staying in town to heal body and mind (and maybe finish that darn NaNoWriMo novel). I hope you have a safe trip and a very wonderful visit home! :-)

lol CW! I think it's safe... boss said I have to work over the mandatory holiday at Christmas, and he's has been yelling at me for silly things all day. Now that the punishment is on the table, I'm so relieved... if this is the best he's got, I am completely satisfied. Sleeping with dogs = worth enduring much worse :)

I wouldn't call that an issue. I don't worry too much about FF and Twitter losses because being real-time is all about being transient and this isn't my IRL identity anyway. Losing friends from Facebook however, keeps me up at night for the same reason as you said. You're not alone :)

I know I shouldn't, but I'm talking about what is actually happening in reality. The two are frequently different for me :P

Oh sorry, LANjackal. Clarity fail! I was responding to the "you shouldn't" thing, not you. It reminds me of when I was an alcoholic and people told me "you shouldn't drink." LOL

Please all I have to do is show up in my shining brilliance and I get blocked. Do I Care? ..HELL NO ....I'm too busy living my life :)
- Jeunelle Foster
Part of me wants to ask Jandy how you'd notice that someone blocked you... but another part of me thinks it's better not to know. I couldn't instantly determine who I lost, and figured it's better that way. Hell, it was probably just somebody leaving FF.
- Lo
I can honestly say that only a handful in my list would I actually miss. The rest I could care less but don't tell them that. They'll only get pissed off at me and we don't want that do we? Just let them continue to believe they're special :) lmao oh lord
- Jeunelle Foster
Good point, Jeunelle. Whoever it was, I couldn't immediately tell. So obviously he/she is not dearly missed :)
- Lo
Yup there you have it. Solved :)
- Jeunelle Foster
It's not easy to tell, Lo. There's no place that just says "so-and-so has blocked you" - you can tell by looking at your subscription history and if it shows "you unsubscribed from so-and-so" but you didn't, they probably blocked you.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Excellent... if there's anything my life is missing, it's more obsessive anxiety about my popularity with strangers on the internet. LOL! Thanks Jandy, I promise not to use this knowledge for anything, ever :P

Guess who just got asked to work during the mandatory vacation time between Christmas and New Year's? This guy! (warning: venting ahoy)
mjc, Amber, Random Time Lord, PENGUIN: MAJOR CAPS LOCK and Rodfather liked this
We get 10 days of vacation, but it's required that 4 of them are during that shutdown. Which I always thought was dumb, b/c China is open during that time. Mostly I'm annoyed b/c it's the only good chance we get to take trips, but I can never afford to fly during the peak.
- Lo
This year I finally get to see my family for the first time I've worked here (if your family lives in Asia, you get a paid month off and I cover your work. But that doesn't apply to white girls). My boss picked out the dates, giving me a full week over Thanksgiving. When I expressed concern about not having enough official vacation days, he said "I'm not worried about that."
- Lo
I knew in that moment that there would be a heavy price to pay for the "gift" of being allowed to take a normal vacation like most office workers. But this I could not have predicted.
- Lo
It's really not so bad, though. Last year my boss called me on Christmas morning from China ordering me to come to the office, and I had to do some work anyway (since business goes on over there). So it's not much more annoying than that. The justification, though, is "someone to answer the phones." I guarantee you not a single non-telemarketing call will be received during those four days. The real reason is to punish me.
- Lo
That's messed up.
- Rodfather
The joke's on my boss, though. I've stayed at this stupid job specifically to learn how to rise above adversity and hide my buttons from obsessive and manipulative button-pushers. He will not get to me. And I'm going to bring the entire contents of my bedroom with me to work, and sort them out in my office. Our plans for Christmas were to clean out the apartment, and I'm cool with looking like I'm working while doing it.
- Lo
And thank you, Rodfather. I know it's odd, but just having external validation that it's wrong really does mean a lot :)
- Lo
10 days paid vacation a year? Is that the norm over there? Here most full-time, permanent positions include 20 days/4 weeks of paid annual leave.
- Mellissa Jane
Mellissa, I believe my company is subpar when it comes to benefits, but in general the US does seem to substantially less vacation than the norm in similar countries (especially Europe). I work for a small company, though, so the policy is whatever the boss feels like today, and he's... well, crazy is the nicest way to put it.
- Lo
Oh, and final bit of rantitude: the reason that my boss called me repeatedly from China on Christmas morning was that I turned off the heat. He was worried that the pipes might burst. Mind you, the last time it was cold enough for that was before I was born, once in the last century. I told him it was 50 degrees, and he insisted that I immediately go into the office. I don't think he even knew it was Christmas. (I did it later)
- Lo
On the other hand, my boyfriend's been unemployed for over 2 years now. If I didn't have this job we'd lose our place to live. Could be so much worse!

Apparently the sane people from the fishing trip kept the rest, but gave our boss the heads. Halibut are weird but kinda funny looking coming out the water, but put their heads on a plate and you've got a horror movie for lunch.

Poor dogs. They have to know what they are supposed to look like, and they have to understand that this is ridiculous. A friend said this to me recently and I can't help but think it now: "It's a shame to think of how we've bastardized the majesty of the wolf so thoroughly."

Pretty cool. Overpriced but more professional compared to last year (this is only the 3rd time).

I think the caterers did that, and took it all literally. There were...
