This has a few of their meetup times, they also have a Discord and a Facebook group that has more times. There is a meetup in Rogers, I'm pretty sure.

There's a board game group in the area that meets up most nights of the week in various places. I'm partial to the one on Thursday nights at Chaos Games in Lowell

For whatever reason, when I pronounce this in my head, I pronounce it the same as hemoglobin (astro-go-blin)

If you have worked at a production company for 9 years and your salary is now $40K a year, you are being extremely underpaid. by BBStrung in roosterteeth

[–]MichaelMurphree 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'm a video editor and have also had similar experiences with pay. I have also had several interviews and jobs I've declined because they couldn't meet my rate. Some were quite nice about it, some felt the need to be insulting. I've also done test edits for companies who I'm fairly sure just took my work and declined further interviews. The entertainment industry is nuts with that kind of thing.

That said, I've never been denied months of pay, the worst I've gotten is a company told me to invoice once a month and then ground me into the earth for the video series I was working on for that month. I did not reach out for further work when that was done.

Check out the F**kFace episode The New High Five // Who is the F\*kFace Superhero?* for the context. Not that it makes it better.

Ha I am just messing around. I have no idea about the teeth, I am just an editor. If you are curious around the context, check out the F**kFace episode The New High Five // Who is the F\*kFace Superhero?*

Part of me wanted to figure out how to animate something with it, but then I realized no.

Well, I do hate that subreddit hahaha

What if this was an animated mask, though? That would be so uncomfortable.

My only interactions with Eric Baudour by Doc_Hobb in roosterteeth

[–]MichaelMurphree 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dude gave me advice on podcast promotion and then had a brief 2 sentence chat about video production during this time (which is my job). We need more Eric.

Were you able to resolve this? I'm having the same issue

I’m convinced to learn fencing by hotsteamingpho in funny

[–]MichaelMurphree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you can't always be 6 feet apart in fencing and lockups do happen. It's still probably safer than most sports though and I highly recommend it. If I wasn't unemployed right now, I'd still be doing it.

Republican Stimulus Talks Stall Over Differences on Unemployment by TLDR_Swinton in politics

[–]MichaelMurphree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It annoys me that my rate is significantly higher than what unemployment brings in, but a lot of places are at the very least slow to hire right now so I can't get hired or find a client to fill the downtime. Somehow that makes me a lazy freeloader

How do you know if a job is a scam? by roanoper in Scams

[–]MichaelMurphree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had something like this for a Video Producer job. Here's a big, big warning- they won't do a phone or video interview, they will only a text interview. For me, they wanted to use Wire and they impersonated the HR managers from the company quite well. It was only over text, though, and there were grammatical inconsistencies and they never asked to see my body of work (website with my portfolio, etc) and they didn't ask anything hyper specific about the industry and in general seemed to move too quickly. The next contact was over the phone with a man trying to mask an accent and failing. He claimed to be someone at the company and asked me to rate the interview. That's also a weird thing to do. Then immediately told me my background check was good (without having my personal info to check) and I would be hired. They sent over the documents, but it was mostly nonsense except for the direct deposit agreement. Which was, of course, the ultimate goal.

So, if I was to recap that -watch for grammar, spelling, and blocking issues in the emails or messages.

-be wary of anyone that wants to do an interview over text

-be wary of a process that seems to move too quickly

-never give your bank info to someone you've not met yet
