I suppose so, yes. :D I make it a point to remain well-informed on that sort of stuff. As for career paths, I really don't know. That's the tricky part, isn't it? I suppose I could do local government, law, that's the most difficult part, deciding a path. And I'm an indecisive, often procrastinating individual. That doesn't help much, does it? =/

That's awesome, at least you got to do that for a little while. I mean I had an excellent crew of people to work with at my library, I would've stayed if that were an option for me. Yes, I've been advised to do some resume dropping too, hope we both find some success with that. I actually have another interview scheduled next week with a local hiring firm. We'll see how I do, I already passed my online computer skill evaluation with pretty decent marks the other day. So that's a start. Mostly stuff like MS Word and Excel.

TDWT will always remain for me a bitter memory. An excellent setup marred by an episode of mass character derailment purely for drama's sake. And I do not fly with that. And while people still adore that season, I think opinion on how they chose to handle or even include the love triangle is a tad less sunny than it was five years ago. Still though, too easily forgiven for all the damage it caused, and it still undeniably counts into the derailment issue. Besides, it's a tired, cliched and overblown stunt. I'm sure some love triangles have been handled better elsewhere, I don't know which ones from anime you might be referring to. But as is, I am ***extremely*** wary whenever one is implied or surfaces. TDA did suffer from a bore factor, you could tell they were operating with only half the energy and heart of TDI. There were plenty of frustrating moments that signalled the start of a bad trend. Yes, that #9 thing, a first sign at what they were willing to resort to for a drama nobody welcomed back then, or further down the road as it became a regular trend. TDA was mostly unengaging and lacked charisma, which probably is why it is largely overlooked even now.

I don't sabotage and manipulation are going anywhere. But yeah, fillers will hopefully be at the bare minimum. If what you're saying is true, then yes it will be. So that isn't really the most worrying concern then.

Yeah, with her you felt like your opinions mattered, and that it was guaranteed what you had to say would reach the right people. And for the most part I think she delivered on that, and I appreciate her stepping in to connect us in a way that I don't think had been seriously attempted beforehand. They could've stood to do that a lot sooner than they did, and the timing of when they established it made it pretty obvious why that connection was now suddenly very critical to have, but with her we had that direct link and could finally get in our two cents on what went down. There were other ways to contact them but she provided us the best means for it. If she ever does come back, it probably will not be for a long time. But the fandom made it very clear that it already misses her. Let's hope the new people taking her part are as serious about upholding this connection as she was.

I'll do my best, no problem Stryzzar. Though at the same time I intend to tackle the issues directly and at the heart as I always have. Of course I'm trying to remain courteous and respectful of it. But the raw realities still do have to be spelled out where necessary. But don't worry, I'll keep it cool mate.

Sorry man, I have never heard of Detentionaire.

Well yes, presumably hundreds of times by plenty of people. Still, I feel like there are still some matters they still have yet to appreciate in their full scope. I like some reassurance that they understand that some of what they did probably did not work and probably shouldn't be tried again. I actually did receive acknowledgement elsewhere that yeah, Chris' worsened cruelty and that silly balloon scene did not resonate with quite everybody. I did receive that acknowledgement. BTW, they insisted that there is no grander design behind that scene. Just some bits I figure I can confide to you.

Still just gotta be sure they understand why their choices weren't warmly received. Any misunderstanding or misperception I want to be sure does not cloud anything.
