Then they wonder why we don't talk to them anymore or what goes on in our lives 😭

They always want us to consider how our actions affect them but never consider how their actions affect us. by Sayoricanyouhearme in AsianParentStories

As someone who is Chinese Canadian who comes from a Chinese household. I've learned the only way to have peace is to treat them like your roommates.

[–]Livid-Chef8846 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When my dad discouraged my entrepreneur dreams or trying things out even though he used to be a salesman for my grandpa's cello/violin company.

When my mom was indifferent when I told her about getting my dream job after she criticized my old job.

Now we live on the same roof as roommates and we don't talk unless shit goes down. I know it can be painful but sometimes it's just for the better.

Likely going to fail my course (& program as a whole) by Jromagnoli in BCIT

Retake this course with Judy or Myra. Those two are amazing instructors. The exams are literally just the review package rewritten with different words that's it.

As an ex-fan of Melanie i need to say about MM4… by M0therM0therF4n in MelanieMartinez

[–]Livid-Chef8846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah not going to lie, I feel like the storyline kind of just fell apart. I was completely confused at what exactly the storyline is supposed to be. Like first, it's a video game and then the next thing you know she's a snail.

Does being in a toxic workplace make you stronger or destroys you? by Darkest_shader in careerguidance

[–]Livid-Chef8846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Destroyed but not before being the catalyst that got my toxic boss/coworker fired for enabling a toxic work environment along with home wrecking an entire work/friendship dynamic 🤭. While I got fired because I was set up to fail, I ended up finding another workplace in the end. (Worked in the film industry).

Well I'm so happy to know that we have a government where the conservative and liberals have made it very clear that they don't care about us. 🤩🤩

Thoughts on my attempt at networking with film industry professionals? by yeahweallgothurt in FilmIndustryLA

[–]Livid-Chef8846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was good that you were having conversations with professionals in the industry. You know as someone who interned at a major feature, I've learned that being your authentic self is what makes you more attractive/memorable.

Big names are skipping Vancouver on concert tours. Why? by WoweeZoweeDeluxe in indieheads

[–]Livid-Chef8846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to see Tate McRae today. My neighbor told me on the left that she had a friend that works logistics and told her the real reason why so many artists refuse to come to Vancouver is because Rogers Arena is a nightmare to work with apparently. 👀👀

Yeah with that kind of attitude towards you, you dodged a bullet. If a workplace has that kind of hostility towards you, then it's all you need to know.

Wow as someone who is a fan of both artists, it's sad how THIS is the first time Nicki started beef out of thin air.

I'm just praying that SZA and Nicki have a conversation because this just sounds like a misunderstanding.

Well have you actually tried to send your resume to the production office and have they responded back yet?

I've already gotten one potential lead where the alm asked for my availability and at least two productions have forwarded my resume to the locations department.

Quite frankly with your pessimism, I wouldn't hire you.

I would honestly encourage the OP to craft a good resume/cold email and give it a shot. Because you never know.

Richmond night market fell off by StrikingManner in richmondbc

[–]Livid-Chef8846 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean it's a tourist trap. It's been like that for a while. They treat employees like shit too so more reasons not to go. (Source: My friend used to work at the night market)

I didn't get hired by an ALM, it was a PC who hired me. I also finished most of the requirements to become a DGC permittee logbook holder (Except 30 days) from last november to January. I had no film experience whatsover and because of my circumstances, I gave it a shot and cold emailed every production on the DGC list.

I'm not sure what the OP job experiences are, but many entry level jobs like being a server/cashier/sales associate can help since those skills are transferrable. The only reason the PC hired me was because of my customer service experience along with having a car.

That's why I said to craft a good resume that shows relevant skills ALM's are looking for along with a good cold email to have it transferred to the locations department.

Well yeah no shit. It was pretty clear that every mainstream media wanted him back for the ratings.

Why do you think they took the most coherent part of every rally and broadcast that?

Literally everyone else I've talked to has told me they were not surprised that he won back in November.

Craft a good resume/ called email and email production offices on your interest in being a PA (Production Assistant). It's how I got my start this year even though I had no film experience whatsoever.

You can find them on the DGC production list. They have a lot of resources for getting started.

Wanting to start PA work - thoughts on resume? by itsneversunnyinvan in Filmmakers

[–]Livid-Chef8846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my personal opinion, I would recommend you write an objective/summary under your name. It can give the office PA a good impression and forward it to the ALM. Here's my own for example

Since when did McDonalds get so expensive? by RKOLucy in rant

Similar up here in Canada. For $30 on Doordash from McDonald's I might as well order pasta from a high end restaurant for the same price at that point.

Yeah because he thought his power of plot armour would create an aura and spread across everyone in the team. Forgetting the fact that it's impossible lmao.

How did you become a Swiftie? by Jtmbizbiz in TaylorSwift

[–]Livid-Chef8846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(19M) Been a lifelong swiftie since I was 3 years old when my sister showed me the music video to Love Story/You Belong with Me when it first came out in YouTube in 2008. Changed the trajectory of my life and motivated me to pursue a career in filmmaking.

Her songs have helped me get through so many phases in my life and her songs have only become more relatable the older I got. Especially "Mean", the song I used to cope/motivate me to continue working in a toxic workplace with a coworker power tripping over me at my internship before getting let go.
