What do you do for a living...

[(Anonymous)]

and how do you like it?

Re: What do you do for a living...

Immigration attorney. I love it but right now it is insanely difficult. I don't think I could do anything else, if I stopped I'd just feel completely helpless. At least now I can do something. But it is so difficult right now mentally and busy and exhausting.

Honestly not sure what else I'd do if I didn't do this. I knew this is what I wanted to do from my second year of law school. I guess maybe I'd be a criminal defense attorney if I didn't do this? Honestly not sure.

I work in logistics. It has days of nothing and then days of wall to wall EVERYTHING.

Direct Support Professional. I'm staff for individuals with developmental and physical disabilities. Things like physical help in their home (we have a house with three ladies and two houses with one lady each in my county), outings, budgeting, etc. I'm currently overnight staff at the house with 3 - they all require 24 hour staffing, but I'm alone overnight, which I like.
It's not a job I ever imagined, and sometimes it's very repetitive, but over all I like it. My company is friggin' nuts, though, and one of the higher-ups just got arrested for a DUI.

I teach medically fragile children. I love my job and my students, but I hate the lack of funding, the staffing problems, and the tone-deaf administrators.

I'm a professional career nanny specializing in infants and toddlers. I start with newborns and get them sleeping, eating, and using the potty and then I move on to the next family.

I like it. I adore toddlers and infants are cute. I do sometimes feel like my brain is turning to mush because this job is 90% emotional labor and time management and not a lot of brain power. I mean I take continuing education classes and keep up on the latest child psych and philosophies and safe practices but it's not really rocket science and once you've been doing it awhile it's all a variation on a theme.

The lack of benefits (health insurance, retirement, any sort of safety net at all) are rough but the pay and overall job is good.

Workers comp admin. I like it but I don't like answering the phone lol

I work in insurance, but closer to actuaries than sales. I prefer never having to talk to people and just do math all day.

Dishwasher, I really love it. I love physically active jobs and jobs where I clean/organize things, janitor is another job I have really enjoyed. The restaurant I currently work is awesome, good management, I don't get along with every coworker but have no major drama and the workload is usually reasonable, my pay is decent too. I've worked similar jobs that just felt draining and demeaning because the workplace, wage, schedule, management etc were awful so I feel very lucky that I found a chill place and that I make enough to support my creative hobbies outside of work.

Librarian. I love the job, I am great in customer service and enjoy being paid to talk about books!

Graphic designer. Don't really like it, no. Also gen ai absolutely poisoned my job even more.
I do enjoy that this profession allows to give fuck all about what I am wearing in every setting.

Re: What do you do for a living...

I work at a medical clinic filling out FMLA/disability forms for patients. The work itself is fien - the job's relatively simple, it's basically just copying down stuff from office notes and so forth. The main hassle comes in dealing with insurance companies claiming they didn't get the forms after I completed and faxed them, or trying to get release of information forms from patients and sometimes having difficulty getting a hold of them, or things of that sort.

Also, my current job at the clinic is all messy now 'cause we're transitioning to be part of the hospital and the trnasition has been and continues to be a clusterfuck, so that's been causing me a lot of stress lately.

But yeah, in terms of the actual work itself, it's fine.

I work in the energy sector. Not my dream position (that would be spot trader) but I'm close enough to the action. After 22 years, I don't know anything else.

Re: What do you do for a living...

I work for a software company. I write and configure a program that gathers data from our clients' various industrial machines.
I like it. Programming is fun, the pay is decent, and I get along great with my team lead and office mates. We like to complain about the other teams and the owners, but it's rarely anything serious.

Good/Bad adaptions

[philstar22]

What are your favorite and least favorite adaptions? Are there any adaptions actually superior to the original? How about adaptions that are bad as adaptions but good as their own thing?

Re: Good/Bad adaptions

[kaijinscendre]

Least favorite will ALWAYS be World War Z. What straight garbage.

Favorite is season one of The Last of Us (I've not seen the second).

I think the My Sister's Keeper is better as a movie. They completely changed the ending in a good way.

Re: Good/Bad adaptions

[(Anonymous)]

Favourite are the BBC Radio Hobbit and LoTR. Least favourite are the PJ films of same.

Re: Good/Bad adaptions

[(Anonymous)]

Favorite:
Dredd
The Shawshank Redemption
Jurassic Park
V for Vendetta
The Addam's Family

Least:
World War Z
Judge Dredd
The most recent Tomb Raider movie
The Assassin's Creed movie

Re: Good/Bad adaptions

[greghousesgf]

good adaptations:
the 1964 TV and 90's movies Addams Family
the movie Forrest Gump (the book is awful)
the first Narnia movie but not the others
the "all star" 1974 Murder on the Orient Express
Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (most people don't even know there was a book)
the Humphrey Bogart Maltese Falcon (there were two earlier movies most people have never seen that were really bad)
the Long Goodbye (my favorite Robert Altman movie)
the 1995 movie of Sense and Sensibility (no, not just because Hugh Laurie was in it!)
the Peter Jackson LOTR and King Kong

bad adaptations:
most Disney movies based on non-Disney books
I will amend this to almost every book I loved as a kid that they tried to make a movie out of screwed up bigtime. Everything from Fantastic Mr. Fox (and I usually love Wes Anderson!) to Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, no Good Very Bad day.
I've NEVER seen a movie or TV version of Alice in Wonderland that did justice to the book
most live action version of cartoons but ESPECIALLY that Robin Williams Popeye movie
several movie versions of Stephen King books, particularly Needful Things, which was one of his best books but got turned into one of his worst movies
Every movie version of Freaky Friday was really inferior to the book
the M. Night ATLA managed to get EVERYTHING wrong about the cartoon, I'm just glad Toph was spared because she's my favorite in the cartoon
the Tim Burton Willy Wonka movie
the Winnie the Pooh horror movie. who thought that was a good idea???

there are probably more in both categories but these are the ones I can think of now

Re: Good/Bad adaptions

Superior to the original:
Jaws
Jurassic Park
The Princess Bride

Not necessarily superior, but personal favorites:
Both the '60s TV and '90s film takes on the Addams Family (very different, but as a tremendous fan of Charles Addams' comics, I love both for what they are)
The Lord of the Rings (yeah, sure, many of us can agree on Jackson's LotR being a solid adaptation... but I ALSO fell for the Rankin-Bass Hobbit and LotR cartoons)
Poirot-- maybe not superior to the books, but perhaps equal, Suchet channels Poirot with such care and attention.
Return to Oz-- which brings me to...

Bad as an adaptation but DEARLY beloved as its own thing:
The Wizard of Oz. I LOVE the Wizard of Oz, I will even forgive it the 'all a dream' ending. The film and books were very big for me as a kid.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Loved this, even if it is QUITE different from the book-- enough so that Kesey only ever accidentally saw a part of it on television.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, I would say departs enough from the source material to qualify as its own thing.

I know I'm blanking on some things-- certainly I'm not thinking of any adaptations I hate at the moment, though I am sure that they exist.

Re: Good/Bad adaptions

[(Anonymous)]

Not sure if I'd call it a good adaptation because it changed too much for it to actuallly be good but I liked The Postman movie much more than the novel.

Worst adaptations are definitely the Krabat movie and even though I go against fandom consensus to even acknowledge its existence, The Dark is Rising movie was a crime.

So, Timothee Chalamet secret OPs (posts 6947 & 6953)

[(Anonymous)]

What do we think now that he's received his third Oscar nod? I'm still kind of baffled, but maybe I just haven't seen the right performances. Or maybe I'm just not seeing what some people obviously are. I don't think he's a bad actor, just none of the acting I've seen from him really stands out to me.

Re: So, Timothee Chalamet secret OPs (posts 6947 & 6953)

[(Anonymous)]

Not either OP, but think it is further proof the Oscars are about money amd popularity, not talent.
