Re: Unpopular Opinion
Nov. 6th, 2008 10:35 pmQuick heads up; I get pretty grouchy in this entry. And opinionated. I'll do my best to keep a clear head and an open mind if you take me to task for any of this, but understand that I probably won't want to ;)
----
So hey! I never got around to sharing my revised opinion on Firefly having watched Jaynestown! ( I should do that now )
In another unpopular opinion, after collapsing pretty much everything on my profile, I'm not 100% hating the new setup. Or even really 75% hating it. Hell, I'm almost feeling it, 10%. Though of course, I wasn't exactly doing much with mine. It probably sucks a lot more for people who had banners and shit and had everything laid out perfectly. This'd probably throw all that off. Edit:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nightangelca managed to express what seems to be the basic problem users have with the new design here; once again, marketing has completely misunderstood the market. I'm still not sure whether I now agree that it is completely hideous and useless now, but that may just be because I haven't really looked at any social networking sites to compare. I'll see if my opinion's changed by morning. [/edit]
It does kinda suck that it seems we can no longer link things in our userpic comments. How long has that been going on?
And, in something completely different:
Dear co-worker,
I understand that you've been having a hard time of things. I understand that you're stressed out and that your life is pretty bad right now. Hell, that's why I offered to watch your kid a few hours for you in the first place: so you could get some rest and/or time away from him and maybe start feeling a little better!
This does not mean, however, that you can interpret my offer as tacit permission to rant about how horrible your life is and all your problems for half that time. After the first fifteen minutes, I'm really not interested any more! It may sound callous, but that's how I am. Either start talking about how you plan to fix things, ask me for advice/help, or shut. The fuck. Up.
Yours,
Me

Still working on Fic or Treat stuff. Go pop in to take a look at some of the art I've posted there if you haven't yet :3 Still also working on my counselor app; have a rough draft done, but could stand to bat it around with someone for more humor inspiration. Which reminds me; I still have nagging/cheering duty for that one apper. I'd better get on that...
Edit 2: It amuses me more than it should that this was release forty-two [for LJ stuff], and yet so few LJ users seem to think it's the ultimate answer.
