Against better judgement, here's my secret web site that documents some of my anger at my previous job. In the 3 years that I was there, I was the ONLY one to put anything in the "suggestion box." And they were all complete gags. The VP who received them couldn't tell if the were serious or not, after all, "Dave Savage is a creative guy; he COULD be serious. Can't believe it took me 3 years to get out of there. Looking back, a lot of the crap I put up with was pretty funny. I worked pretty hard on a pirate-themed board game for 6 months or so. They didn't get funding for Phase 2 of the project and I was accused of plagiarism. One of the VPs found another pirate-themed board game that *gasp* was also a map and featured a skull island, a mermaid, a monkey and a sea serpent. Admittedly, the placement of some of those to the one was pretty coincidental, but I'd never seen the other board game before. Plus, the VP who accused me of plagiarism also made me put obscure references to "Gilligan's Island" and "Scooby Doo" on the board. I think it's hard for me to let go of some of this anger because some of these people I loved to hate. And, in their favor, that's probably better than being someone that I'm apathetic to; they've made their impression. And people wonder why I think my new job is a cakewalk.
