John, will Blazer broadcasting ever splurge and go out and get cameras like TNT/ESPN? HD looks good on what they use now but ESPN, IMO, is on another level with their cameras.
I was actually talking about this survey with a few coworkers as well as some friends today...alot of people I know personally are in decent jobs, good security but for the most part, the work is simply not fulfilling. For many jobs, there is no accomplishment or end point, just a series of updates and continuation of a status quo. It kind of blows not being able to celebrate milestones...well, you can, but they're pretty minor. should feel lucky to be working, but anything can disappear anytime really..never know....just staying in mediocrity and a job that has extreme ups and downs (you wouldn't believe the year I had) without an end is kind of unfulfilling.
I'm not a wizard when it comes to the technical aspect of our equipment. I can ask our Engineers why they look different. I know we are 1080, so I would assumed if finally looked great.
I love watching the program "Dirty Jobs." Makes me really fucking grateful for my job most of the time. Tell the guy who spends eight hours a day scraping coal off a treadmill, or the lady who opens oysters, or the dude who crawls under houses removing dead skunks, that they should enjoy their jobs. There are a lot of really fucking awful jobs out there that have to be done by somebody, and I don't blame them for not enjoying it. I know the gold standard for middle class high-school educated workers is the factory assembly line job, but have you seen most of those jobs? The pay and benefits are great, but it's doing the same god damned 30-60 seconds of labor for 8 hours of day, often for decades. That said, just because you hate your job doesn't mean you hate your life. The coal scraper guy had obvious pride that he'd put two kids through college doing that shit. Like The Boss once said, you got to learn to live with what you can't rise above.
I put in more hours working by the age of 35 than most people will put in their entire life. And why do you assume I live in a vacuum? You don't think I understand the plight of the average person? Of all of your stupid assumptions, that one ranks at damn near #1.
If wallmart is one of the (if not the largest) corporation in the US, that must mean they employ a large number of US employees . . . which would explain why most workers hate their jobs.
I used to have a night job where I would clean the Tualitin Fred Meyer. Holy crap, that's a big place. We'd bust ass for eight hours and barely finish.
