I'm an agency marketer, I essentially run 5 SME marketing departments simultaneously. Everything has to be logged both w/r/t time tracking, dollar spend on behalf of clients and activity tracking in Asana. Usually I complete about 5-8 tasks a day every day (where a task might be - write 15 emails, segment a database into frozen vs shelf stable food manufacturers, work with the translation department to make this case study Spanish-language...), and have to divide my attention 25/25/15/15/10/10 between 5 accounts and internal admin (budgets, stand ups, reports, 1:1s).

My ability to be consistent, organized, and hold lots of things in my head to cover the previous-current-and-next quarters is just part of my job. I enjoy it, I love being busy, but man is the office an anathema to that process. Not to mention, I don't hit my 4 business hour SLA to reply to a client ask, I turn up to a meeting unprepared without a deck, or my other stakeholders don't get their collateral, you'd know in less than a day.

The "emails that go days without a reply" can't happen because of the 4h SLA I mentioned, "going over to a department" doesn't work because everyone is also split between 3-5 accounts, or at the VP level, all 30+ accounts.

I work at home in relative silence with two big screens. In office there is constantly music playing, and everyone's cheek by jowl, I'm working on a laptop, and there's a lot of big personalities and I can't just go to my kitchen to make lunch or get coffee, I have to leave the building and buy something. Plus there's a "team building" thing at 4pm. Its constant interruptions about look at this quilt I made, did you see Jim's new shoes, look at my new puppy, even on topic conversations are disrupting because I'm trying to work on project A while two people are talking about project B two feet from my ear.

Crack an egg on it

we're in the office one day a week, mandatory for everyone regardless of seniority.

My direct reports have begged me to miss it on occasions where they really want to meet a deadline and know that the in office day means they'll barely get anything done.

I have to push the deadline back rather than honor their request because my boss' boss is fanatical about it.

It's so fucking stupid.

until you hit a speed bump with the wrong vibe then it's more fire than sweet, in a more literal than metaphoric way.

I think they mean in the cage scene, isn't he chained up and then gets the key off the guy by eating him and wearing his face?

needs 51* stars too

studies were done and found similar to what you're saying.

also the secret listening does not comport with any of the business side of profile marketing, either. So it would have to be an incredibly well kept secret on top of all of that.

for a change

🤔

never stop hating human rights abuses, miscarriages of justice, false imprisonment without due trial, torture, kidnapping, and tyranny? You got it, boss.

It's never left me remembering how much hate i saw Kossovo refugees getting in the UK in the 90s. People fleeing a massacre, mass graves, land mines, blitzkrieg, rape as a weapon of war - only to be treated like scum by the average Joe.

I'd say that Springer was influenced by Oprah Winfrey, whose show about abuse, neglect, crime and vice was influenced by her harrowing childhood, a product of racism, and capitalist-induced poverty.

would not the fact that blue shifted galaxies being rare, mean that in general all galaxies are red shifted from the perspective of all galaxies, thus they are expanding away from a point on a similar vector, and thus have a central point?

And a balloon does have a vector of direction: the mouth piece

well it's likely the big bang has a central point, no?

there were always similar jobs going all the way back to the rennaisance

wdym I went to SO many rainbow parties as a 9 year old

there's a whole rube Goldberg machine of celebrities of that era that are married or related.

fuck the generational entelechy. No war but class war.

I think they mean "is bhuddist, acts catholic"

It would move to something else.

There used to be riots at the opera and theatre (as in plays not movies).
