When one of the characters casually used a word (that I will not repeat here) to describe East Asians I actually yelled at him (via the tv screen). "Sir, everyone heard that!"

But it's a fundraising job over the phone where I read a script all day and try and convince people to give more money to a number of charities we are representing. But it's full-time for now. It's just my agent and I agreed on the hours being from 10-5:30 but now the client is saying I have to work 1:30-9 every night if I want full-time hours which is not what I agreed upon. My agent said she would re-open my file and see about finding me something else but it's not for sure and the jobs she was suggesting (reception) I think I need to be able to write perfectly in French as well, which I can't.

klopek December 14, 2015 Share December 14, 2015 (edited) I would like to take a moment to express my genuine heartfelt gratitude for all the wonderful folks who hang out here on this marvelous board. It has been an arduous year and you have all helped me maintain my sense of humour and enduring enjoyment of Y&R - whilst weathering my disdain of SHOW! To quote from Queen Elizabeth's notable annus horribilis speech of 1992, "[2015] is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure". From the personal files: my Mother's wellness has declined at an alarmingly rapid pace this past year. As her caregiver, I am bereft with the awareness, that sooner rather than later, her requirements will exceed my ability to provide them fully for her. Y&R has been pure unadulterated rubbish. Show broadcasts in my region at 4:30pm - coincides with Mum's busy time 'helping' me prepare dinner - we have Show on in the background, yet I never know wtf is going on. To keep up, I stop by here with my tea and my fractured thoughts, often to discover... no one knows wtf is going on anymore LOL. It gives me a token sense of peace to know that it is SHOW that is stupid, not me! : D So, I thank you one and all, for the laughs, the blithely sarcastic observances and cynical asides, the hilarious commentary that many of you provide with much appreciated constancy. I always exit these pages brighter than when I entered. Always! Thank you Everyone.
