I feel like I use to work in that company. I had a female supervisor that was always contradicting herself in regards to my terms of probation and accusing me of misconduct. I ended up quitting and getting my wage backdated in full because I had signed a contract and they would wishy washy if I was on probation or not even after being the only new worker from my recruitment group passing a certified exam, everyone else got put into sales and I alone went to a different department because I had 3 years prior industry experience.

The job before that an older women picked on me and several other girls we were all around 22-30 and she accused us of being the reason she was not being able to conceive through ivf meanwhile one of the ladies she was harassing had actually suffered a miscarriage and she took us consoling her in whispers about it the morning she came into work as us plotting against her. People are bizarre in the workplace I tend not to form close relationships with coworkers anymore it just creates drama.

Depends what company you work for.

You could be in a call center for cell phone carriers, banks, tech, travel, etc. Someone else I know does one for Paypal. So what you do is gonna depend on how complicated the service is.
Me? I work for an airline doing sales and customer service. I get a cubicle where I sit all day unless I'm on break or lunch, and I do nothing but take inbound calls and use the company software on a computer. Once a month I have a business meeting to break the monotony I guess.

Sounds easy, and physically it is. Yet mentally it's both the most boring and stressful job you will ever have.
Every call center operates differently but by and large this is universally true. What makes me stay is the health insurance, vacation time, and flight perks. And I guess the pay isn't awful, but it should be higher for all that I have to know about the industry and the bastard customers I deal with.
No one ever calls an airline customer service line because they're happy with us.
Oh and my hours suck and I have to work almost all holidays except the ones that happen to fall on my weekends off.

Don't work in one unless you have to, and if you do go for big companies like mine because at least they'll treat you better than average.

I both like and dislike drag.
I think it's really entertaining and like another anon said, queens like Bianca del Rio and Bob the Drag Queen that are more or less real comedians that just wear heels and dresses and don't take themselves too seriously are a joy to watch. I really like some of my local queens, too, because most of them are doing it purely for the entertainment/artistic aspect of drag or using it as a way to test out makeup looks or outfits that they have designed themselves. I know one queen who is using drag as a way to promote their clothing brand, which I think is a really smart thing to do because it gives her the opportunity to take commissions from people who come to the shows.

But, what I really don't like is this new trend of having drag queens be the models in magazines like Vogue instead of professional models. I don't remember how recently it was, but I remember seeing one of the contestants from RPDR modelling women's lingerie. WHY? Like, I get being all PC and whatnot cause thats what companies have to do now if they want to see any form of profit, but there is a point to where it gets ridiculous. And using them instead of biologically female models is taking jobs away from women.

But, no. Drag is super empowering for women, too! /s

It’s super weird. I’ve wondered for years what led them to rip out of the tent.

There’s brown bears and wolves in the Ural Mountains, or maybe some sort of violence from a group member.

There was a similar incident in America, with a group of men who had slight cognitive disabilities/mental illness inexplicably left their camp and were all found in weird circumstances.

I draw.
I've been sick for two weeks and couldn't get much done, but usually I'll shoot for cutesey stuff with lots of pink because, well, why the fuck not? Plus it helps me feel nice.

I feel I'v gotten lazy with my tablet so I'm practicing more hand drawing and pulling out my watercolors this weekend now that I'm better.

I also read lots of YA. I enjoy sewing by hand. I used to roleplay a lot on tumblr but got tired of everyone's ooc melodrama so I quit.

honestly wish I had more female friends so I could indulge my other hobby of dressing up just to go out and take lots of cute pics.

Playing video games, collecting anime figures/pins/keychains/etc, cosplaying, and drawing. I haven't really cosplayed in a while due to not having money and, really, the large friends group to cosplay with, since I like going to cons with a group of people and not by myself. And with art, I'm getting back into it after I was pretty discouraged by people around me.

Inspired by the original Anti-Kpop thread.

Reasons to hate K-dramas:
>female characters lack depth and growth
>crappy acting from idols and top actors alike
>terrible sense of humor, too many toilet jokes
>romanticizes domestic abuse and dating violence
>characters don't act realistically, cringy kissing scenes
>exaggerated emotions, cliche scenarios, predictable plot
>production environment is very poor, often making headlines in newspapers
>overacting and overused tropes, i.e. girl falling in love with the chaebol asshole

And let's not forget about Jang Ja-yeon's case:
>In the seven-page letter, written a week before her death, the star of Boys Over Flowers, South Korea's most avidly watched soap opera, chronicled the sexual and other favours she was expected to extend to progress in the cutthroat "Korean Wave" of TV and film.

i'm sorry but pic related made me laugh. that poor actress though…

the korean shooting system is downright insane, i thought they would have moved past this sort of shit by now.

>filming and editing may even take place on the same day the episode is being aired


>Kwon Sang-woo complained that he had been shooting the last episode of the drama “King of Ambition” up until 30 minutes before it was aired.


>Joo-won, said that in his recent hit drama, “Yong-pal”, he might need to continue filming without sleep for six days and get IV shots between scenes to boost his energy.

The world record for not sleeping is 11 days, but others already died after that.

All of this seems so strange to me, there I'm from people do their best to appear as if it didn't take them any effort, downplay everything in order to seem humble and talented without having to try hard. If you don't manage to finish filming until shortly before it's aired, doesn't that indicate that you're simply not good enough…?

Some of it's bragging because of Korea's messed up culture, but kdrama production and sets are hell on earth

>The most noticeable problems were the glaring glitches that marred the broadcast: audio cut in and out, sometimes repeating, editing was choppy, and an error screen with color bars was sent up halfway through.

http://www.dramabeans.com/2011/03/sign-apologizes-for-glitchy-finale-promises-a-do-over/

>On Wednesday, local media reported that a staff member of the drama had fallen from a height of more than three meters while setting up a chandelier at the set in the early hours of Sunday morning. He is said to have broken his spine and pelvic bone in the fall and was transferred to the hospital unconscious.

http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20171227000565

>Because of unregulated script changes and tight shooting schedules, actors are almost continuously on standby, and have no time to leave the set or sleep properly. The Korean media have a separate word to describe irregular, short sleeps that actors resort to, in often uncomfortable positions, or within the set: jjok-jam (쪽잠), or "side-sleeping"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_drama#Production

>Almost a year that they’ve been delaying payment to its cast.
