Little Things that Irk You: Episode V

[randombs]

I don't go for fashionable stuff. You know, the stuff that was obviously in last year because everyone was wearing it those few months. Being 6' in Japan with long arms and long legs has helped me streamline my clothes because I'm severely limited in my choices. H&M helps. I don't own any jeans which is a shame but it's difficult to find ones that fit.

I think you'd do well to get into wearing shirts as it cools down. Unlike with hoodies, you don't have to worry about looking inappropriate/underdressed or following current fashions. It's getting cooler here so I'm breaking out the shirts and v-neck sweaters.

You could check out some vintage shops. It's much more interesting than going to Debenhams or somewhere like that. Also, because vintage shopping is a bit of a minefield I find it less embarrassing to ask staff for advice. Yes, there'll be hipsters and weirdos but you might come across a Clangers VHS on a shelf and enjoy the nostalgia.

I'm not trendy and don't turn heads but I do try to look nice.

cracked my phones screen a tiny bit, 2 weeks ago thinking Apple will replace it free of charge as its a hairline crack. Checking for appointments everyday since and finally got one today for next Monday and accidentally knelt down on the phone and cracked it some more.

People adding 'senior' to their job title. Everyone seems to be doing it in the media industry these days.

People adding 'senior' to their job title. Everyone seems to be doing it in the media industry these days.

Sometimes they are senior though. Media and creative jobs often have a structure that goes:

Junior > (Regular) > Experienced > Senior > Lead/Principal > Chief > Maybe director

Regular is in brackets because it isn't usually said - for instance, you'd be an "Editor", not a "Regular Editor".

A "Regular Editor" is one who eats the recommended amount of fibre every day...

This is true, but we have graduates on our team who added the title 3 months after joining

Then that's wrong.

When I look at a CV, "senior" implies two things - term of service and/or mentoring more junior staff.

In the case of someone who's on a Principal career path, I expect term of (successful) service.

In the case of someone who's on a Lead career path, I expect them to be able to quote the staff they had beneath them.

If someone came to me at an interview saying they were "senior" and they had neither of these things, I'm not sure how I'd react. I certainly would be disinclined to hire them.

[Dogg Thang]

In my business (also media), people put senior all over the place but I don't blame them. Every job that advertises for a junior means they are looking for someone with the skillset of a senior but willing to take the pay of a student. If my job needed senior in it to actually get paid, I'd stick in my title too.

Oh I still love America, but the current gun situation and the boiling over of racial tensions have gone so far now that i'm just not comfortable being there.

Yeah that pretty much sums up why it's off my radar.

Was talking to an American couple in my industry who live here and they left the US when their kids' school started doing shooting massacre drills. Can't say I blame them.
