  • I’ve done Halloween twice and each time it was funny.

    The first time I went as a zombie. I went all out with the makeup. Kids on the street would cry and run into the doorways. One guy came up to me and was seriously concerned. Then in the tram there was another zombie. We didn’t acknowledge each other but we both stood there at the doors. It was hard not to laugh.

    The second time my roommates and I went as lizard people. Latex scales, green skin, lizard lenses, the whole deal. We run and scream through the city. Arrive at the party. Oh my god, nobody was dressed up!

    So we spent the whole night utterly green with yellow eyes at a normal party.













  • If you’re leaving what’s the issue exactly? There are countless people who are incompetent at being a proper boss or client. You can try to educate them. If they’re power tripping it’s best to find something new.

    Regarding communication I think the most important skill is to actually say what you want to say. What your needs are. It sounds obvious and easy but once you consciously try it you’ll see that it takes a lot of practice.

    The issue is that being indirect or expecting people to just get it just doesn’t work. There aren’t many people out there who are that sensitive and insightful, and they’ll just keep filling in the gaps with their own perspective again and again. Even when you are being direct they will, but at least it gives someone the opportunity to think about it and possibly adjust. Most people mean well.
