Happens everywhere somebody is spending somebody else's money.<br /><br />A long time ago, I used to work for a company you may have heard of called Sun, and we were just about to launch a new processor called UltraSparc. At the same time, the company just moved into it's new HQ, affectionally known as Sun Quentin.<br /><br />Anyway, to help with the launch, it was decided that we would rent the tent from the Cirque Du Soleil, and have the launch event on the new campus. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the tent wouldn't fit properly in the allotted space, so they *dug up* the parking lot to this brand spanking new campus to accomodate the tent. For a *half day* event.<br /><br />And then spent another boatload of money putting the parking lot back together again.Pliny The Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514304475848637164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-66972698276247319372011-09-21T21:42:58.329-07:002011-09-21T21:42:58.329-07:00Seriously... in all my years since, I've never...Seriously... in all my years since, I've never encountered another exec so anal about his copies looking pristine. (I'd love to have had the guts to say, "Is this the sort of devotion to perfectionism that won you an Oscar, sir?") And the other individual who was responsible for the Great Bread Hunt was a real piece of work too.The Bitter Script Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575166527272639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-24503773930819137532011-09-21T21:31:16.267-07:002011-09-21T21:31:16.267-07:00It's a wonder anything ever gets done in Holly...It's a wonder anything ever gets done in Hollywood. It's funny and sad that "Swimming with Sharks" wasn't hyperbole. Shit like this, and in that movie happens every day.<br /><br />What's funnier is that anyone that could be so anal about copies from a book having no crease, and not be off color, certainly shouldn't be in any position of authority.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058601442026855932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-53929975713559779572011-09-21T16:14:51.901-07:002011-09-21T16:14:51.901-07:00I started as an assistant and got it from both end...I started as an assistant and got it from both ends: the insane boss AND the intern that won't just FIND THE SMURFING BREAD RIGHT SMURFING NOW.TLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423032219957552690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-73690841636747752732011-09-21T09:26:06.492-07:002011-09-21T09:26:06.492-07:00sounds like every startup I've ever worked at....sounds like every startup I've ever worked at.Pliny The Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514304475848637164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-91965606611705382062011-09-21T05:41:59.736-07:002011-09-21T05:41:59.736-07:00Man, this is smurfing slavery.
