I do love catching a Development junkie when they are having an off day.
Usually our conversations go along the line of this:
Miss M: Hey dude, hows work?
Development Junkie: Said in the most upbeat voice you can imagine Absolutely brilliant. We're working on some amazing new shows!
Miss M: Oh really? Good to hear
Development Junkie: They are going to WONDERFUL on TV, the commissioners are going to get their socks knocked off!
This gone on for some time whilst they blow their own horn about how brilliant they are.
Friday was different.
I think I encountered one when he was just having the worst day possible. Or he was disillusioned with his own brilliance
Miss M: Hey dude, how you doing today?
Development Junkie: Monotone voice I'm ok
Miss M: Hows development going? Got any good new shows on the go?
Development Junkie: Some good shit, some bad shit - basically just shit.
Well I wasn't expected THAT!
Good to have someone be honest for a change though isn't it?

aah man, sounds oh so familiar.
and I guess people get tired of the automatic response of "Im fine thanks, how are you?", when really, you feel like shit in a burning plastic bag. poor bugger.
hope you're doing ok though Miss M? x
I'm alright thanks my love :)
Still grappling with some personal stuff but I'll get over it!
Hows you?
Ah, I hear you hun! Im doin some sorting of my own...but hopefully soon I'll have clarity. :)
Hope you sort through your stuff soon as well. Its gets tiring grappling for a long time.
Hugs to you! :)
Ah thanks hon :)
*hugs right back atcha*
The dude’s honesty surprised me, too!
@Nick - Ye I love it. Hardly ever happens!
eeewww.. i despise those enthusiastic types sometimes. i question the kind of crazy pills they're taking.
I love people who throw it out there like it is. It's refreshing in a PR based professional world.
yeah shit happens :)
I'm going to try that....
"Lopz, how are you?"
"Shit. Everything's just shit. Work is shit, life is shit, I think I might kill myself."
How fast would I lose my office friends?
@pdx - They slip it in your coffee here
@meghan - It is isn't it? I hate fakeness!
@sweets - Lots and lots and lots and lots of shit is appears ;)
@lopz - Damn I so am going to try that tomorrow morning! I wonder what the reactions will be like?!?!
I've discovered a similar soul set amongst the so-super-happy-and-enthusiastic-we-can-hardly-breathe PR people at a government sponsored marketing company. I love him and all his blessed exhaustion and cynicism - not sure what this says about me!
