Learn to defend yourself before you are attacked.

Make entry level jobs entry level again

Not enough jobs are willing to do training anymore, no matter what the situation. Grocery stores won't teach you to work a cash register, businesses won't teach you how to use their programs, even the arts won't teach you anything

Everyone wants a triple threat, expects you to just have those skills. In the old days? you could show up to a random theater barely able to dance and they'd teach you, and then the incel living in the walls would make you a world class singer and actor and you'd be headlining your own show in a few years

Meeting New People And Learning To Teach

Before starting to teach, I had to make it through training week and I have a story that I just must share. At the meet and greet, the night before training started, I was introduced to the other members of the ESE team. It was then that I met my soon to be work bestie. He was loud and boisterous and a little wacky. I didn’t know what to make of him at first and when I heard him refer to himself…

The IGM leadership team is back from a fun-filled trip to Dallas where they attended this year's kickoff conference! 🛫🤠

The crew enjoyed celebrating the top performers of 2023, learning from industry leaders, reconnecting with friends and colleagues, and checking out Arlington and Dallas! 👠💼👔

Thinking about her (a show that was cancelled unjustly) again

Flarf, really needs to get in more hours training on the tractor beam. Everytime it's his shift at the humanoid exploration center when is taking me in for my monthly exam in the space ship, I wake up with huge bruises in the morning. At least Glarp takes better care of me. I mean come on. To be fair, I was informed by the shift leader Xednar, Flarf is at least 40 years younger than Glarp. Next time I get a bruise I will be making a complaint.

whispers of opportunity in the industry as a psychology student

I started my practicum in an industrial setting last Tuesday. We were tasked to work in the HR department at a hospital. I was really excited about this opportunity since I enrolled in my BS Psychology degree program a few years ago. Although I'm most looking forward to my clinical setting practicum, experiencing working in HR will also give me insight into office settings.

Our supervisor assigned us to different departments, and I chose the Learning and Development (L&D) department. Initially, I planned to go to the Employee Wellbeing Clinic, but when my classmate was asked if she wanted it, she said yes. Nonetheless, I was still interested in L&D as I was curious about their functions, and I would be the only intern there.

My first-day supervisor was very helpful. She provided a brief orientation about the hospital and the department itself. She assigned me tasks that were suitable for the department I was assigned to, rather than giving me simple and odd intern tasks. She also took the time to explain the importance and purpose of each task and willingly answered my questions.

On my second day, a new HR officer from the same department became my supervisor. Since I had completed my tasks with my first supervisor, she assigned me new ones. She also took the time to discuss and explain the importance of each task. She mentioned that she was once in my shoes and wanted me to have a fruitful OJT experience by learning about human resources.

During my four days at the company, I had the opportunity to work on various tasks and learn something new each time. I feel fortunate to have been assigned to the L&D department and to have supportive supervisors who are willing to help me learn. I hope they don't see me as a nuisance but as a helpful presence. In a short span of time, I've gained valuable knowledge in the L&D department and I'm truly happy about it. So far, I'm enjoying my time there.

I've experienced different tasks, such as updating the masterlist for outsourced employees, observing how virtual training programs are conducted, answering phone calls as an HR employee, sorting and organizing necessary files for employee 201 files, creating a training report based on evaluation forms, and preparing an external training and travel report for employees.

Furthermore, the head of the department personally visited my area (yes, I have my own office-like space, not just a cubicle) to greet and welcome me. They also assigned me an easy task before leaving the L&D department, as we requested to be rotated to different departments to gain as much experience as possible within our 200 hours. All the people in the L&D department are nice and welcoming.

In conclusion, my experience in the HR department has been truly rewarding. I have learned valuable skills and gained insight into the operations of an office setting, particularly in the Learning and Development department. The support and guidance from my supervisors have been instrumental in making my practicum enjoyable and educational. As I look ahead to my future experiences, I eagerly anticipate being rotated to different departments. This opportunity will allow me to further broaden my knowledge and understanding of various aspects of the company. I am grateful for the warm welcome and the chance to contribute during my time at the L&D department, and I am excited for the adventures that lie ahead in my upcoming rotations.

As a long time httyd fan who has been heavily involved in the fandom since the first movie and who has spent years working in the animation industry, I’d like to share my thoughts on the new httyd movie. Keep in mind, this is just my personal opinion and it's completely fine if you disagree with me. I just want to say a little something about all this that really bothers me.

The core reason that Dreamworks and Universal made this film is that it’s a quick and easy cash grab for them. Thats it. They don’t care about telling a good story or making a “better” version of the original movie for fans or even having an accurate portrayal of the characters/story. It’s purely about money. They know that fans of the original film will go see this movie, whether it’s good or bad. And those guaranteed ticket sales are all that matter to the studios. And with Universal, it has the added bonus of being a cheap promotional and merchandising opportunity for the new HTTYD land in Orlando that opens around the same time that the film is premiering in theaters.

And to help the studios make even more money out of this, they are using non-unionized VFX companies around the world to make this film, so that they can get cheaper labor and push the artists to do more that would be against American union standards. The same thing has probably happened with the costuming and fabrication for the filming, hence why the costumes look un-weathered and the sets look cheap. They don’t want to pay for the extra time and effort that it would take to make the practical bits of the production look good.

On top of all this, Dreamworks has already announced that they’re shutting down all their in-house animation projects in favor of using AI and outsourcing projects to cheaper international non-union studios.

With all this in mind, I just can’t support this film and I will not be seeing it in theaters. And I hope that others will do the same.

The only way to stop all these horrible “live action” remakes (which are actually just realistically animated remakes) is to not buy tickets to see them. Money is all that matters to these studios, and if they don’t make any money off of it, then they will stop and try something different. Maybe they'll even go back to focusing on original stories!

That’s the power that we hold as audiences. Our wallets help drive the decisions that the executives make. So support unique storytelling and gorgeous cinematography in movies. Support indie films. Support animators as they're fighting for fair pay and better contracts. But don't support a mediocre shot-for-shot remake riding on the coattails of an already successful film.

And I just want to wrap all this up by saying I have absolutely no hate towards anyone that has worked on the new film. Toothless looks incredible and I know the artists and creatives involved in this project did the best they could with what they were given.

But I also know that those same artists have so many more brilliant ideas that they would’ve loved to be given the creative freedom to do. I just wish hollywood would be willing to take a chance and let them do it.

Danny, Sam and Tucker co-own a resturant. (Yes this is going exactly how you think if u got it) Danny makes the mascots, Tucker supplies the coding and Sam is both their biggest donor and takes over the vegan menu.

Surprisingly, the resturant goes extremely well and so far hasn't been robbed even though they're in Gotham.

They hire a nightguard just in case.

However, none of the three knew that a few specific ghosts keep coming back every night to possess the animatronics and have their fun while also throwing out intruders.

Jason Todd thinks that his bosses should've at the very least told him their mascots would try to put him in the grave again.

(They aren't but he doesn't know that and they don't know he's supposed to be here.)

Danny had been around Gotham for a while.

The crime was never ending, but since Batman's arrival, it had gotten better.

The unmistakably CLANK! From around the corner had him jump, wary now. The man walks around the wall, eyes on the black car with— with Batman's symbol at the front.

A child sitting on the ground with a car tire next to him, the Bat Symbol a stark contrast to the shadows.

"Shit, kid. You're bold to rob Batman." Danny didn't really realise he was speaking until the kid looks up, spooked.

"What the fuck?" The kid was clearly of Gotham breed, yelps with a glare.

"I'm impressed," Danny doesn't give the kid the chance to talk, not with the way the tiny terror seems to be glaring and holding his wrench.

"You're quick, got eyes for details and know how to work around cars."

The suspicion in the kids eyes didn't lessen, having gotten up to press himself against the wall, eyes never leaving Danny.

"Here," Our local spook threw a card on the hood of the car. It was his business card.

"If you need income with far fewer risks than stealing from Batman, call me."

He didn't really wait to see the kids reaction, just leaving, bot before shooting a look into the sky the kid clearly caught.

As danny left, the kid looked at the entrance of the alleyway, back to the car, and then to the card.

They had talked for too long. Jason had to leave now, lest Batman actually caught him.

With one last look to the tires and the car, he leaves eith a scowl.

Just barely missing the man with the cape.
