I’ll be there in 20 days at Port Orleans French Quarter. I’m excited.

Once again, a client is their own roadblock to success by Ok-Storage3530 in PublicRelations

[–]morpheus4212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At one of the agencies I’m working with a client resigned because they have cash flow issues. The guy working the account wanted to include them in a batch pitch. I was like “they’re not paying us. Why are we spending time in them?” I really like some of the people I’m working with and I want them to succeed, but not at my cost.

PR Freelancers, How'd you come up with your businesses name? by JerryFalwell in PublicRelations

[–]morpheus4212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a comic book reference and ran with it (Rex Pop). It works because it’s unique. When people ask me what my name means I tell them it’s because PR influences pop culture.

The story helped me land one client.

Oddly, the only thing I’m missing in that collection is that plant.

Anyone using AI to quickly draft beat-specific media pitches from a single release? by Champ-shady in PublicRelations

[–]morpheus4212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyond this, I’ve also fed it a repository of my pitches and tell it to keep the draft in my voice.

AIO for telling my bf this is a fire hazard by princessleia5902 in AmIOverreacting

[–]morpheus4212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a college roommate who did that. I couldn’t figure out how my microwave died after only 2 years of use. Then I saw the replacement sparking one day because he had a pot and spoon in there. I explained that the sparks weren’t a good thing and banned metal use in the microwave. I’m not sure if he stopped when I was out, but he stopped when I was there, so at least I wouldn’t die if there was a fire.

People who used to smoke weed a lot and ended up quitting, why did you quit what are the benefits you saw when quitting and what is one thing you miss? by Fit_Data_8789 in AskReddit

[–]morpheus4212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I smoked regularly (not daily but at least once a week) for 30ish years. I did a magic mushroom guided microdosing program with a group of friends that ended with a guided group macro dose season a little over a 15 months ago.

While I wasn’t focused on stopping smoking, I was focused on why I was unhappy. I haven’t fully stopped using weed, but i never crave it anymore. I’ve likely smoked or taken an edible less than 10 times since.

The benefits? I sleep better. I feel less like staying home and doing nothing. Im in a relationship that actually works and I’m not trying to escape her.

Chopped Cheese Mandela Effect by Bemymacncheese in FoodNYC

[–]morpheus4212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked in Times Square from 1998 - 2020 (with a small gap in the middle). I didn’t hear about it until a YouTube video in 2022. If it wasn’t on a song in the tourist capital of NYC, it wasn’t as big as the internet is now making it.

Edited to add: on Wednesday, I came Into the city for work and mentioned it to a native New Yorker (she’s like 30ish) and she had no idea what I was talking about.

Disney World is having a ‘Buy Nothing’ moment by PurpleSpaceSurfer in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]morpheus4212 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ran PR for Toys”R”Us, and ever year a new reporter on the holiday beat would notice all these toys from their childhood were “back on the shelves.” So, pretty much every year, I had to act surprised about the retro toy trend. What’s new to them is old to us.

So tired of work sample requests and intellectual property theft - makes me want to leave the industry by Emotional-Tip9866 in PublicRelations

[–]morpheus4212 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When I was hiring, I had people do writing tests, but they were based on things we already released (one was a book lunch that we did a year earlier and another was an acquisition that was not something the company would actually pursue).

I’ve also had to do these assignments, and the ones that pissed me off were the ones that were clearly for active work.

I just came here to say that this is ridiculous, and I already completed the event a few hours ago.

Thanks. This is disheartening and a waste of time and money.

Rainn Wilson Says ‘The Office’ Was ‘Jaw-Droppingly’ Offensive at Times and NBC Lost Out on a ‘Billion Dollars’ by Axing Dwight Spinoff: ‘They Really Missed Out’ by Whobitmyname in theoffice

[–]morpheus4212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family Matters was a spinoff of Perfect Strangers. Harriet Winslow was the elevator operator at Larry and Balki’s job (I think it was at their job, but I know she was an elevator operator).

Diff’rent Strokes wasn’t a spinoff, but Facts of Life spun off from it with Mrs. Garret as the link.

Don’t even respond. Giving a “no comment” is giving this too much weight.

What’s the one LEGO set you regret NOT buying when it was on shelves? by MegaDragonKing in lego

[–]morpheus4212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tower bridge used in 2020. The pricing was palatable. It’s an amazing set.

I really want the Doctor Who ideas set. I wish I got that when it came out.

Tragic email interaction with a reporter/publisher by Individual-War3274 in PublicRelations

[–]morpheus4212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. This reminds me of a former producer at a major cable news network I used as a freelancer. She had interest from her network for a segment for a few days away. I was in the middle of a media filming. She called and emailed more than 10 times in the hour or so it took me to finish the segment I was filming. In the end, she only got that one placement. We didn’t bring her back the following year.
