My Christmas bonus is probably the mandatory overtime notice I got this morning.
Bastards.
I think your Christmas bonus should be the resignation notice you send them in response to the mandatory overtime notice. Complete with EAT IT! header.
And, what msbelle said. Shake the dust off your kickass leather boots! Go somewhere you don't have to shovel, or even own an ice scraper!
I suspect I'm getting a bonus, but I don't know when. They generally appear somewhat mysteriously.
shrift, seriously. Turn in your notice and get the hell out of Dodge. Preferably westward.
From the "Or was that a rhetorical question?" files...
Why is so much of the production attached to the show, but directors aren't? Is it because the things we'd look for in a film direction are imposed over them, and their job is more transparent?
My guess is that it would be expensive and insanely difficult to hire a new crew, much less a new cast, for every episode. Bringing in different directors doesn't present any special challenges. And with the production schedule, a director can only make so much difference, so why bother? (I mean, I believe it would improve the final product, but I'm not sure it would improve it enough to justify the additional expense.)
I think it's also true that the auteur theory hasn't permeated TV culture the way it has movie culture. Probably because the writers are right there to defend their territory.
I don't actually have a lesbian lover.
And she's not a cowgirl either.
Are we writing a country song?

Good call.
This recipe [link] is basically what I do, except I use canned corn, too -- the "crisp fresh niblets" or some shit. Also, for Christmas I'd use a red pepper and a green pepper.

Har!
Egad, shrift.
I'm not actually planning on working the amount of overtime they've specified, by the way. I think I'm coming down with something, I have another doctor's appointment, my car needs an oil change, and I need to finish a story.
What are they gonna do, fire me? If they do, I get unemployment!
Thanks for the recipe, Jesse! I'm looking for something easy to prepare.

As I understand it, Brokeback Mountain is only the first of a series of six movies. The next five feature gay Indians, gay Sailors, gay Policemen, gay Construction Workers, and finally just leather-wearing gays.
Mandatory overtime sucks, I'm sorry Shrift. Luckily, it has been a long time since I've had it. Putting in twelve hour days and not getting paid for four of them was not fun.
