The Place to Go for Emotional Support
Time

I want to but my job is my only real support group of people who care about me and sort of keep me in check, with the drinking and all that. (Obviously not all of them.) my fellow supervisors really look out for me. They are my best friends and even though we do see each other outside of work seeing them every day really helps me out. I’m afraid if I move on to a New job with nobody that knows or cares about me I’ll end up going off the deep end and killing myself.

Plus I’m really attached to the people that work below me. Even though they’re beneath me were still like friends (the ones that are capable of being friends with their boss and still respect my authority anyway… I do lay down the law when it’s needed.) I know that if I leave they will suffer and their jobs will get even harder. And I know that they won’t replace me and will just force the other supervisors to stretch themselves even thinner.

My job is getting to be fucking soulcrushing and devastating to the point I’m never not stressed out about it Even when im at home. They keep cutting back on employees to where we are literally half what we had 2 months ago, but they want just as much output. My job isn’t in any trouble as a supervisor but I’m constantly getting my ass chewed about productivity being down and when I tell them forcing everybody to do the job of 3 or 4 people isn’t going to work they look at me like I’m speaking a different language. They’re just greedy bastards. Our company is literally in no trouble the only reason they keep cutting back is to increase their own bonus to go in their pocket. Fucking pricks, I don’t know how much more of this shit I can take. Its not even that it’s the worst job in the world, although it is significantly worse than it used to be. But the work environment has gotten so fucking hostile that all I do at home is drink and stress out about going back.

How prominent is sulu being gay in terms of being shown?

I don’t care for me it doesn’t bother me at all but I’m going to see it with my grandpa. He’s been a diehard trekkie since TOS but he thinks homosexuality is wrong. He a never hateful or rude about it and would never put someone down for being gay, I just wonder how much behind-the-scenes bitching I’ll have to endure.

someone is gonna have to explain to me why I shouldn’t like him as Kahn

I agree that he was fantastic as an actor, it’s just they should have made him a new character and not made him Kahn. Kahn is an already established character. I don’t fully see how a snow white young English man grew into a buff middle aged Mexican. (Not an insult to either actor, just saying the idea of them playing the same character is odd…)

Started TNG last night after years of procrastination. It’s going to be an uphill battle getting used to this crew; right now Trek without Spock feels deeply wrong on an emotional level. I’m interested enough to keep at it, though, and hopefully after a few more episodes I’ll be invested enough that I won’t be so preoccupied with how much I miss my buddies from TOS. I love Picard, Riker, Dr. Crusher, and Geordie, I think Deanna Troi and Wesley totally suck, I’m ambivalent about Data, and I haven’t seen enough of Worf to have much of an opinion yet. I also don’t feel strongly about Tasha Yar, but I’m spoiled enough to know that that’s not going to matter for long.

Keep at it and don’t give up. The first season is good to introduce you to the characters, but a lot of the actual episodes are very weak. Season 2 is slightly better. But echoing others it gets really good during season 3.
