In which I'm a gullible fool etc

[astuarlen]

Without too many details or well-formed utterances (typerances?), because I'm just here to vent and show off my awesome stupid-wound:

-Get new job.
-Be excited (hey, design!).
-New boss says "do this".
-Doing, back-and-forth discussing.
-"Wait, you're not paying me?"
-"Well, no, but these other people will... very probably."
-This is a bad idea. "Okay."
-Design, design, worry, design.
-"Done!"
-"Cool, yeah everyone likes it!... Oh, wait, nvm."
-ASDFGASDFG!

I envision Ellen Page playing the part of me in the film adaptation, with a cameo by Sean Connery. (Accent, yay!)

I laughed, I cried, I got a refund.

Sorry ast, needs more love triangles. ;(

Seriously, they're all over the movies now. >_<

Quit and toss the work experience on your resume. If asked, mention that the company wasn't customer-oriented or dynamic enough.

[astuarlen]

I'm blind to red flags--and, really, I don't think [boss] was intentionally trying to pull something. Detail prohibition precludes details, however.

The worst part about the whole thing? I could have played TWICE as much Portal last week. Tragedy!
Or worked on some illustrations or something, I guess.

Gosh-darn fiddle-faddlery-do.

Sorry that your boss was unintentionally a jerk.

[Sayara]

Your boss is horrible!

That Portal time cannot come back!!

I keep my eyes peeled for walls to walk into. The plan is to repeat until I bruise some sense into myself.

I'm not seeing this as a Movie.

...maybe a TV series?

Lifetime movie.

[astuarlen]

Good point, Spike.
I think I'll cook up a smashing script and mail it to ABC.

[Nitro Vordex]

Make sure Fox doesn't get ahold of it.

[SpikeOtacon]

Make sure Fox doesn't get ahold of it.

And make sure Ron Howard gets it.

[Sayara]

I don't think Ellen Page could fulfill the eccentricity of you ast ;p

[Out_Kast]

Yes. Too much walking-through-walls :disapprove:

[Toadthroat]

Lifetime movie.

Except they'd make Ast a hard-working single mom battling breast cancer, all the while trying to make it in today's penis-ruled society. Also, she frequently goes on dates but all the men don't seem to be on her level. Her boss is a sexist pig, her other females co-workers don't have what it takes to stand up to him, and in the end she gives him a slap and walks out, cue some Jewel song and the credits roll.

Except that Sean Connery is retired. Even the combined powers of George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford couldn't retrieve him from his cushy retirement lifestyle just to make a 5 minute cameo in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I hope you have a fool-proofed plan to bring him about; and I don't anticipate that offering your body to him would work, as, well fuck, he's Sean Connery-- he's getting all the tail he's interested in having, I'm certain.

Ice cream?
It tastes good and it keep bruises/wounds cool.

Killjoy BS

A look-alike (but more importantly, a sound-alike) is fine too.

[Shadowpawn]

lol Quote editing.

You forgot about her boss attempting to sexually assault her.

How about Craig Ferguson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0272401/)?
