Despite remembering news pre-Internet, I’m still not old enough to remember only having one half-hour segment a day. On the local NBC station we had while I was growing up, morning news ran from 5:30-7am, then later was the news at noon. Evening news was a full hour broken into 30 minute segments from 5 until 6pm, then the national news with Brokaw at 6:30pm. Then the local news was back at 11pm. Plus the occasional ‘breaking news’ interruptions, which you never wanted to see because they were always about something awful.
While its deliberate here, it always amuses me that people who proclaim ’we’re going to [insert random quixotic goal here] or bust!’ seem unaware that they are explicitly acknowledging that they may fail, and rather badly at that.
Despite half the bosses I’ve worked for being nice, or at least pretty decent, I’m with Rat on this one. Though in his case, it may be having Rat as an employee that makes them a terrible boss.
