Show notes - Episode 494: Be Glad You Can Pay Us

Morning, friends!

We had some patpeeves today, but sometimes those are necessary. We also had new music from old friends, so let's get to it all!





Music from Telltale (7:12), issues with buying direct (12:10), return to work interviews (19:33), employee appreciation (27:40), and Batman: Caped Crusader (38:03).

Telltale

Thanks to our friends for the tune! Find more from them here and ask them if they'll stay in town for the live show next month!

Buying direct

For real though: Why can't I buy food items directly from manufacturers? Would it lose them money? Do they have an exclusive contract with certain suppliers? Do they just like upsetting me? What gives!

Return to work interview?

These seem utterly pointless at best and oddly invasive at worst. Why do I need to interview after I called out? The reason is in the system (even if that reason is "personal"). Work is weird.

Employee Appreciation

Speaking of weird things at work, please stop trying to appreciate us. Getting a plaque in the office and telling us to sign it is not a thing we want. A cheap lunch is not a thing we want. Pay us more money and/or stop making us come to the building. It's that easy.

Batman: Caped Crusader

I didn't have time to watch more episodes this week, but I still would recommend this show. If you like animated bat things, this should be right up your alley. If you grew up on Adam West in the suit, maybe not. But I'm excited to watch more of this show!

And that, as we say, is that! Thanks for coming along this week. Next week we have a guest - Ian Liberatore of Moving Forward Films - so come on back for that because we had a great conversation. Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Crap open a cold one!
